Question

Im being timed! HURRYYYYYYYYY simplify:

Answer 1

Answer:

• B. $p^2+p-11$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

• $((((3+(4*(p^2)))-5p)-3p^2)+4p)+8$

Step 2:

• $((((3 + 22p^2) - 5p) - 3p^2) + 4p) + 8$

Step 3:

• Factoring  $p^2-p+11$
• The first term is,  $p^2$  its coefficient is  1 .
• The middle term is,  -p  its coefficient is  -1 .
• The last term, "the constant", is  +11
• Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • 11 = 11
• Step-2 : Find two factors of  11  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -1 .
•      -11    +    -1    =    -12
•      -1    +    -11    =    -12
•      1    +    11    =    12
•      11    +    1    =    12
• Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
• Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Final Solution:

• $p^2 + p - 11$
