6x^2+13x+2 Factor the trinomial and write each factor as a polynomial in descending order

OpenStudy (aroub):

okay by the people who helped u did u get any thing from them helped u to solve?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I did. It's just hard for me to do it on my own

OpenStudy (aroub):

hmmm okay can u atleast try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I havee been but nothing I come up with is ever the correct answer. i've been tying to do it on paper all day

OpenStudy (aroub):

just tell me how did u do it and ill correct it for u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, i use the formula \[x= -b +/= \sqrt{b^2-4(a)(c)} all \over 2a\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*ignore where it says "all" after (c)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and after -b at the beginning, it's supposed to + or - instead of the / sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x= -b +/- \sqrt{b^2-4(a)(c)} \over 2a\]

OpenStudy (aroub):

oja y can u do it with numbers please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x= -6 +/-\sqrt{13^2-4(6)(2)}\over 2(6)\]

OpenStudy (aroub):

oh okay can u solve it now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried but the part where it says x=-6 +/- throws me off because I can never figure out if I'm supposed to use a + or a -. It just gives me the option of both and i know that one of them wouldn't be correct to use

OpenStudy (aroub):

okay i have no idea what r u doing but ill try my best to help u , okay after all of this do u put them in brackets??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I really don't know, but I know the answer is gonna come out in two sets of parenthases

OpenStudy (aroub):

ok okay then its correct

OpenStudy (aroub):

i would really love to tell how i do it bec. its so much easier than this way i neeed u to be next to me to show u on papers and by talking too ...
