Question

6-5). Factor the trinomial.
20x^2 - 23x + 6

Answer 1

no common factors;

(x /20)(x /20) ; last term +; either (-)(-) or (+)(+)
middle term (-); that means we go with (-)(-)

(x- /20)(x- /20)

20(6) = 120 ; need factors that add to 23

1,120; 2,60; 4,30;8,15 ... 8 + 15 = 23

(x- 8/20)(x- 15/20) ... reduce the fractions till you cant reduce no more

(x- 2/5) (x - 3/4) ; if its still a fraction; put the bottom# in front

(5x-2) (4x-3)
