5x2 + 3x - 2 is a polynomial so, we can say: p(x) = 5x2 + 3x - 2
which is of the form of ax2 + bx + c
First of all multiply the coefficient of x2 with c
Here a = 5 and c = -2
ac = 5(-2) = -10
Break the coefficient of x i.e. b into two numbers such that the product of the numbers is equal to ac.
We can't break 3 into two numbers so that their product is -10.
So, it is not possible to factor p(x).

5x2 y equals 3x-6y as a function?
5x2y = 3x - 6y 5x2y + 6y = 3x y(5x2 + 6) = 3x y = (3x)/(5x2 + 6) This is a rational function.

What is 3x-5x plus x2-6x2 simplified?
(3x - 5x) + (x2 - 6x2) = -2x -5x2 = -x(2 + 5x)
If they distance traveled is 5x3-6x2 plus 3x plus 14 mi and the rate is x plus 1 mph What is an expression for the time traveled?
Distance travelled = 5x3 - 6x2 + 3x + 14 = 5x3 + 5x2 - 11x2 - 11x + 14x + 14 = 5x2(x + 1) - 11x(x + 1) + 14(x + 1) = (x + 1)(5x2 - 11x + 14) Then time = distance/rate = (x + 1)(5x2 - 11x + 14) / (x+1) = 5x2 - 11x + 14
How do you factor a3-9a3 plus 3a 5x3 plus 3x2-x and finally -8d-24d2-8d3?
