We say that an equation is factorizable if it has a factor rather than 1. For instance:
x² + x = x(x + 1)
Another example:
x² + 2x + 1
= x² + x + x + 1
= x(x + 1) + 1(x + 1)
= (x + 1)²

X2-14x plus 46 equals 0?
This is the generalized trinomial equation (aka quadratic):y = ax2 - bx - cBefore factoring, always check the discriminant of the quadratic equation, which is:b2 - 4acIf it is a rational square (16, 25, 196, 225), then it is factorable. If it is not, then it is not factorable.In this case, it is not, since the discriminant is equal to 2√3.Now, you will have to use the quadratic formula:(-b2 +/- √(b2 - 4ac))/2This will give you (14 +/- 2√3)/2

How do you find the equation of a tangent line?
In order to find the equation of a tangent line you must take the derivative of the original equation and then find the points that it passes through.
Is 3x2 -24x -48 not factorable?
3x2-24x-48 is not factorable.
How do you factor 7x cubed - 12x squared - 4x?
First, you remove every x that you can from the equation. Next, you reach the simplest form of the equation, which is (7x-2)(x-2). Which is the lowest factorable form.

Is it OK to use the quadratic formula if the given quadratic trinomial is not factorable?
Well, if the given quadratic equation cannot be factored, nor completed by the square, try using the quadratic formula.

How do you Solve x2-5x-36 equals 0?
x2 - 5x - 36 = 0 (x - 9) (x + 4) = 0 x = 9 and x = -4 This method is called factoring and only works if the equation is a perfect square otherwise you must use the quadratic equation. There are not enough mathematical symbols here to illustrate so you'll have to look it up. But you can determine if the equation is factorable using a part of the quadratic equation called the discriminate, if the discriminate is a perfect square the equation is factorable. b2 - 4ac (discriminate) Where a,b, and c are taken from the general form ax2 + bx + c = 0 a = 1, b = -5, c = -36 If the square root of the discriminate is a whole number 3, 8, 122... the equation is factorable. Notice above that 9 x -4 = -36 the c value and 9 + (- 4) = 5 the b value. Start solving by listing all multiples of -36 and choose the two which when added give you 5.
Is 5x2-6x-2 factorable?
There is no rational solution.
How can you determine if a general quadratic trinomial is factorable?
If the quadratic is written in the form ax2 + bx + c (where a not 0) then for it to be factorable, b2 - 4ac (the discriminant) must be a perfect square.
