6x^2+x-12 in factored form

6x²+x-12

the first thing we need to do is find 2 numbers that add up to equal the middle term (1) but multiply together to get a product of -72 (-12*6)

two numbers that would fit this is 9 and -8
so now we placed 9x and -8x in place of the middle term

6x²+9x-8x-12

now we look for whats common between the first two numbers and divide them out

6x²+9x = 3x(2x+3)

now we do the same with the last two numbers

-8x-12 = -4(2x+3)

notice how the numbers in brackets are the same (2x+3)
we will keep (2x+3) and then combine the numbers on the outside

once we do that you should get an answer of 

(3x-4)(2x+3)

hope this helped!

How do you triple rhe surface area of a cone
Gelneren [198K]
Increase the height so that the slant height triples.

For example:
  Say that lateral height is 2 and the radius is 1. The lateral surface area would be 6.28

 if I make the lateral height 6, which is triple the original lateral height, the lateral surface area becomes 18.84, which is triple the original surface area

Hope I help :P

Butoxors [25]
