x = \frac{1}{2} or x = - \frac{4}{3}

consider the factors of the product 6 × - 4 = - 24 which sum to the coefficient of the x- term ( + 5)

the factors are + 8 and - 3 ( split the middle term using these factors

6x² - 3x + 8x - 4 = 0 ( factor by grouping )

3x(2x - 1) + 4(2x - 1 ) ( take out common factor of (2x - 1) )

= (2x - 1)(3x + 4) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = \frac{1}{2}

3x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - \frac{4}{3}

6x² + 5x - 4 = 0        

Multiply the first and last term (6x² * -4) to get -24x².  Now find two factors of -24x² whose sum is the middle term (5x).  -<em>3x + 8x   </em>Replace 5x with -3x + 8x, then factor and solve.

6x² - 3x    + 8x - 4 = 0

3x(<u>2x - 1</u>)  +4(<u>2x - 1</u>) = 0

(3x + 4) (<u>2x - 1</u>) = 0

3x + 4 = 0   or   2x - 1 = 0

x =  -\frac{4}{3}          or    x = \frac{1}{2}

<em>Note: you can also use the quadratic formula to find the foots.</em>

Missy’s rotation maps point K(17, –12) to K’(12, 17). Which describes the rotation?
Svetlanka [38]

Point K is in the 4th quadrant, then it goes into the first quadrant. So this means the rotation could be 90 degrees counterclockwise or 270 degrees clockwise.

The answer is 90 degrees counterclockwise or 270 degrees clockwise.
