3x2 - 16x + 5

= 3x2 - x - 15x + 5

= x(3x - 1) - 5(3x -1)

= (3x - 1)(x - 5)

or

I would use the quadratic equation. 3X^2 - 16X + 5 = 0

X = -b +/- sqrt(b^2-4ac)/2a

a = 3

b = -16

c = 5

X = -(-16) +/- sqrt[(-16)^2 - 4(3)(5)]/2(3)

X = 16 +/- sqrt(256 - 60)/6

X = 16 +/-sqrt(196)/6

X = (16 +/- 14)/6

X = 5

X = 1/3

check the easy one

3(5)^2 - 16(5) + 5 = 0

75 - 80 + 5 = 0

0 = 0

easy one checks; you try the 1/3 check

That won't factor neatly, so we apply the quadratic formula. x = -8 plus or minus 2 times the square root of 5 x = -3.5278640450004204 x = -12.47213595499958


How do you factor a polynomial of 4x plus 12x squared plus 16x cubed?

Re=Write as 16x^(3) + 12x^(2) + 4x Take out the common factor of '4' Hence 4(4x^(3) + 3x^)2) + x) Take out the common factor of 'x' Hence 4x( 4x^(2) + 3x + 1) The answer!!!!!
