$x(x^{2} -x-6)$

3. Factor $x^{2} -x-6.$

Which two numbers add up to -1 and multiply to -6?

Rewrite the expression using the numbers above.

$(x-3)(x+2)$

4. Done!

What are the zeros in the function f(x)=(2x+6)(x-4)

Shtirlitz [24]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = -3, 4

Discussion:

The zeroes of f(x) are the x values where

2x + 6 = 0 => x = -3

and

x - 4 = 0 => x = 4

Thank you,

(30 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST) Show all work to solve 3x^2 + 5x − 2 = 0.

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: (x + 2)(3x - 1) = 0

x1 = -2

x2 = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x² + 5x − 2 = 0

Multiply 3 x -2 = -6

Find two numbers that added = +5 and multiply -6

These numbers are +6 and -1

Then:

3x² + 6x -1x − 2 = 0

Factorize 3x (x + 2) - 1(x + 2) = 0

Factorize again (x + 2)(3x - 1) = 0

Finally

x + 2 = 0 3x - 1 = 0

x = -2 x = 1/3
