The discriminant of this quadratic expression is less than zero therefore it cannot be factored.
6n(2n - 3)
9x squared plus 16 = 0 factored is plus and minus 4/3 i.
(8w + 7)(8w - 7)
It is (A-1)(A+1) when factored
(2x - 1)(4x + 1)
The factoring is as follows: x2 - y2 = (x + y) * (x - y)
3x squared minus 25x minus 28
6n(2n - 3)
9x squared plus 16 = 0 factored is plus and minus 4/3 i.
By factoring I get x-3 divided by x+3
There are no rational factors.
The factors are -1(2x + 1)(3x + 4)
(2x - 4)(2x + 3) The key is to look for all the factor pairs of 12.
(8w + 7)(8w - 7)
3c^(2) -17c - 6 Factors to ( 3c + 1)(c - 6 ) NB When you apply FOIL to the bracketed terms. F ; 3c X c = 3c^(2) O ; 3c X -6 = -18c I ; 1 X c = c L ; 1 x -6 = -6 Collecting 'like' terms 3c^(2) - 18c + c - 6 3c^(2) - 17c - 6 ( As before).
(a + 3)(a - 3)
(5x - 2y)(5x + 2y)
