If you were to factor the equation what must be true about the two brackets of factors?
one will contain a minus sign and the other will contain a plus sign
If you were to factor the equation x squared minus 8 x plus 12 what must be true about the two brackets of factors?
Both of the constants must be negative. x2-8x+12 = (x-2)(x-6) That 2 numbers added together equals -8 and when multiplied equals 12 By the way it is not an equation because it is a quadratic expression.
How do you Factor 3x plus 8?
3X + 8You don't factor this as there are no common factors.
How do you factor 15 plus 5x?
You can factor a five out of 15 plus 5x. Therefore, 15 plus 5x factors out to 5(3+x). Hope it helps :)
How do you factor x squared minus 5x plus 3?
There are no rational factors.
How do you factor the expression x squared plus 8?
You don't! There are no common factors.
How do you solve 2x squared plus 17 x - 30?
Write down four brackets with spaces on a piece of paper, ( )( ), like so. factor the first term. In this case the possible factors for the first term is only 2 times 1. Write the factors for the first term in your brackets, (x )(2x ). Determine factors for the second term. In this case the possible factors for the second term are 1 times 30, 2 times 15, 3 times 10, and 5 times 6. Determine the factors and sign for the second term through guess and check. Since the second term in the equation is positive and the third term is negative, one sign must be positive and one must be negative. Through guess and check it can be determined that the correct factor is (x+10)(2x-3). If we check this we get 2x^2-3x+20x-30. Condensed we get 2x^2+17x-30
What isthe factor ternimal of x2 plus 6x plus 9?
That factors to (x + 3)(x + 3)
What is the factor of 25v plus 19v plus 4?
That's 44v + 4 which factors to 4(11v + 1)
How do you factor 5x2 plus 3-1?

How do you factor x2 plus 18x-50?
x2 + 18x - 50 does not have rational factors.
What is 2(24 plus 9) plus 2(15 - 8)?
2(24 + 9) + 2(15 - 8) Remember in Maths ; do inside the brackets first !!!! 2(33) + 2(7) You can either factor '2' or multiply '2' to each set of brackets. Factor ; 2(33 + 7) => 2(40 ) = 80 or Multiply '2' to each set of brackets 2(33) + 2(7) => 66 + 14 = 80 As before. !!!!
