For a polynomial of the form ax^2+bx+c rewrite the middle term as a sum of two terms whose product is a⋅c=5⋅4=20 and whose sum is b=12.
<u>Factor 12 out of 12x.</u>
5x^2+12(x)+4
<u>Rewrite 12 as 2 plus 10</u>
5x^2+(2+10)x+4
Apply the distributive property.
5x^2+2x+10x+4
Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.
Group the first two terms and the last two terms.
(5x^2+2x)+10x+4
Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each group.
x(5x+2)+2(5x+2)
Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, 5x+25x+2.
(5x+2)(x+2)
Answer:
13421+402
Step-by-step explanation:
9x-3x-5-3=2x-12
12x -8 =2x-12
-2x. -2x
10x. -8. =-12
+8. +8
10x. = -4
X = -0.4
