The given expression is: 4x² - 17x + 18 = 0
Determine the two integers such that the sum is -17 and the product is 4 * 18 = 72. They are -9 and -8. We can decompose -17x to:
4x² - 9x - 8x + 18 = 0
Factor-by-grouping, we obtain:
x(4x - 9) - 2(4x - 9) = 0
Therefore, the factors are (4x - 9)(x - 2)
If we want to determine the zeroes of the expression, set each binomial by 0 and solve for x. We obtain:
4x - 9 = 0 and x - 2 = 0
x = 9/4 and x = 2.

No, a factor cannot be larger than the numbers it is compared to.
How do you factor x cubed plus 9x squared plus 2x plus 18?
Since the problem has 4 terms, first you factor x cubed plus 9x squared, then you factor 2x plus 18. So when you factor the first two term, you would get x sqaured (x plus 9). Then when you factor the last two terms and you get 2 (x plus 9). Ypure final answer would be (x squared plus 2)(x plus 9)
