Pls factorise x²-7x+12

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anastaziya [24]2 years ago
3 0

Step-by-step explanation: The first thing you're going to probably

try to do here is to factor out a greatest common factor.

The problem is, there is no factor that is in common

to all three of these terms so you may think it's unfactorable.

However, this trinomial is in a special form.

We have an x squared term, an x term, and a constant term.

When a trinomial is in this form, it can be

factored as the product of two binomials.

So start by setting up two sets of parentheses.

Inside each set, we will have the two terms that compose each binomial.

So we have (    )(    ).

The first term is a factor of the x² term, x · x.

For the second term, we need factors of 12 that add to -7.

Since the middle term is negative, we use the negative factors of 12.

Notice that -4 and -3 add to -7 and multiply to be 12.

So our answer is (x - 4)(x - 3).

How do you round 1.038 to the nearest hundredth
Talja [164]
You have to go past the decimal point in since the first number in the tenths place is a zero you can't really round here so you go to the hundreds place and not so three you round down because 3 is closer to 0 then it is 10 so it would be 1. 4
