Answer:

The solution set is {4, -1}

Step-by-step explanation:

6x²- 18x -18 = 6

6x²- 18x -18 - 6 = 0

6x²- 18x -24 = 0

6(x² - 3x - 4) = 0

6(x - 4)(x + 1) = 0

6 = 0 not true

x - 4 = 0 ; x + 1 = 0

x = 4 x = - 1

The solution set is {4, -1}

Complete the factorization of 3x ^ 2 - 10x + 8 3x^ 2 -10x+8=(x- Box x-4)

aniked [119]

Answer:

$3x^2-10x+8=(x-x_1)(x-x_2)=(x-2)(x-\frac{4}{3})$

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of a quadratic polynomial is given by:

$ax^2+bx+c$ (1)

You have the following polynomial:

$3x^2-10x+8$ (2)

In order to complete the factorization you can use the quadratic formula, to obtain the roost of the polynomial. The quadratic formula is given by:

$x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ (3)

By comparing the equation (1) with the equation (2) you obtain:

a = 3

b = -10

c = 8

Then, you replace these values in the equation (3):

$x_{1,2}=\frac{-(-10)\pm \sqrt{(-10)^2-4(3)(8)}}{2(3)}\\\\x_{1,2}=\frac{10\pm2}{6}\\\\x_1=2\\\\x_2=\frac{4}{3}$

Then, the factorization of the polynomial is:

$3x^2-10x+8=(x-x_1)(x-x_2)=(x-2)(x-\frac{4}{3})$
