Question

What are the factors of 2x2 + 3x – 54? Select two options.

Answer 1

Hello there,

The equation that we have to factor is as follows:

2x² + 3x - 54

In order to factor this we first multiply (-54) by 2 and try to find two factor pairs that can be add up to 3.

For this we would use 12 * -9 which gives you -108 when multiplied and when added you would get 3.

                                           2x² + 12x - 9x -54

                                            2x(x + 6) -9(x +6)

                                              (2x - 9) (x + 6)

Now the factor pairs would be: (2x - 9)(x + 6)

Hope I helped,

Amna
