Question

Please help!factor f(x)=6x^2-x-2​

Answer 1

Hi there!

$\large\boxed{(3x - 2)(2x + 1) }$

6x² - x - 2

To solve, we must factor into the following format:

(ax - b)(cx - d)

The following conditions must be met:

a · c = 6

da + bd = -1

b · d = -2

By guessing and checking, we get:

(3x - 2)(2x + 1)
