Factor completely 8x squared plus 6x minus 5?
8x^2 + 6x - 5 = 8x^2 + 10x - 4x - 5 = 2x * (4x + 5) - (4x + 5) = (2x -1) * (4x + 5)
Factor the polynomial 3x squared minus 14x minus 5?
(3x + 1)(x - 5)
What is the solution to 4x squared minus x minus 5 equals 0?
4x2 - x - 5 = 0 4x2 + 4x - 5x - 5 = 0 4x(x + 1) - 5(x + 1) = 0 (4x - 5)(x + 1) = 0 4x - 5 = 0 or x + 1 = 0 4x = 5 or x = -1 x = 5/4 o x = -1
What is the factor to x squared plus 7x minus 60?
(x - 5)(x + 12)
What is the simplified form of 3 over 2x minus 5 21 over 8 x squared minus 14x minus 15?
if you mean (3/(2x-5))(21/(8x2-14x-15)) you would get (63/( (2x-5)(4x+3)(2x-5) ) simplified more would be 63/ ( (2x-5)2(4x+3) )
What is the answer of 16n squared minus 25?
(4x-5)(4x+5)
Factor completely 8x squared plus 6x minus 5?
8x^2 + 6x - 5 = 8x^2 + 10x - 4x - 5 = 2x * (4x + 5) - (4x + 5) = (2x -1) * (4x + 5)
How do you solve x squared minus 4x minus 5 equals 0?
X2 - 4X - 5 = 0 easy factor, what two factors of - 5 add up to - 4 (X + 1)(X - 5) X = - 1 ------------- X = 5 --------------
What is the factor of 3x squared minus 4x minus 5?
3x2 - 4x - 5 does not have rational factors. Its roots are x = [4 +/- sqrt(76)]/6 ie -0.7863 and 2.11963 (approx). So the factors are (x + 0.7863) and (x - 2.11963)
What is the factor for thetrinomial 4x squared -7x -15?
(4x + 5)(x - 3)
How do you factor 4x squared minus 21x plus 5?
To factor 4x^2 - 21x + 5, we look for two binomials in the form (Ax + B)(Cx + D) that multiply to give 4x^2 - 21x + 5. We can determine the values of A, B, C, and D by examining the factors of 4 and 5. The factored form is then (4x - 1)(x - 5).

Factor the polynomial 3x squared minus 14x minus 5?
(3x + 1)(x - 5)
How do you factor 20x squared minus 27x minus 8?
20x2 - 27x -8 20 * -8 is -160, and -32 and 5 add to -27 20x2 - 32x + 5x - 8 4x(5x-8) + 1(5x-8) (4x + 1)(5x-8)
