4x2 + 34x + 42
First, we can see that each term is divisible by two, so we'll factor that out:
= 2(2x2 + 18x + 21)
To further factor the remaining trinomial, we need to find two numbers whose product is equal to the product of our first and last terms' coefficent, and whose sum is equal to the end term's coefficient. In other words, we need two numbers that add up to 18, and multiply to make 42....
Factors of 42 are 2, 3 and 7. That means that our possible combinations of numbers are: 2 and 21, 6 and 7, or 3 and 14. Unfortunately, none of these can be added up to make 18, so the polynomial can not be factored any further.

How do you factor 2x2 plus 13x 42?
The expression cannot be factorised.
What is 5 over 6 plus 4 over 7?
common factor is 42. so it's 35/42 + 24/42 = 59/42 = 1&17/42
What is the factor x2 plus x minus 42?
(x + 7)(x - 6)
Factor x2 plus x - 42?
44
How do you factor -x2 plus x plus 42?
-x2 + x + 42 = -[x2 - x - 42] = -[x2 - 7x + 6x - 42] = -[x*(x - 7) + 6*(x - 7)] = -(x - 7)*(x + 6)
How do you factor 4x4 plus 34x plus 42?
You cannot factor 4x4 + 34x + 42 The expression has a minimum value of approx 9.21616 when x = -1.286 (= 0.5*cuberoot(17). Since the expression is always positive, it does not cross the x-axis and so does not have any real roots. Consequently, it does not have any real factors.
Factor 6x plus 42?
6(x + 7)
How do you factor 2x2 plus 13x 42?
The expression cannot be factorised.
What is 5 over 6 plus 4 over 7?
common factor is 42. so it's 35/42 + 24/42 = 59/42 = 1&17/42
How do you factor the trinomial 3z2 plus 45z plus 42?
3z2 + 45z + 42 = 3(z2 + 15z + 14) = 3(z + 1)(z + 14).
How do you factor x2 plus X-42?
It is: (x+7)(x-6) when factored
What is the factor x2 plus x minus 42?
(x + 7)(x - 6)
Factor x2 plus x - 42?
44
Factor by grouping 6s'2 plus 29s-42?
(s + 6)(6s - 7)
How do you factor -x2 plus x plus 42?
-x2 + x + 42 = -[x2 - x - 42] = -[x2 - 7x + 6x - 42] = -[x*(x - 7) + 6*(x - 7)] = -(x - 7)*(x + 6)
Which kind of expression uses the greatest common factor and the distributive property to find 42 plus 96?
An unnecessary one. 42 + 96 = 138
