3x^2-3x-36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

either use roots of quadratic equation or factor the equation then solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey, here is everything

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take 3 out to start = 3(x^2 - x - 12)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, it's not loading so here it is step by step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x^2-3x-36 = 3(x^2-x-12) = (x-3) (x+4) final answers are: x= -4 x= +3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

disregard the -3 factored 'cause it doesn't matter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So first factor out the 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Those are the final aswers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The x=3 amdx= -4 are the final answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you need me to walk you through step by step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We haven't been solving the equasions, just factoring them. If that makes any sense . I don't know a thing about math, but we haven't been solving for the values of x. We've been rewriting the expressions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, then for the sake of factoring, the answer is just: (x-3)(x+4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, okay. Lol Thank you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, what's the next question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x^2-11x+14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. The same thing applies to this equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Only, because the 11 isn't a factor of two, you may have to solve by way of this equaiton; +or- the square root of b^2-4(a)(c) all divided by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hve you ever seen this equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I haven't.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, it's from algeabra 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But we've used a^2+b^2=(a-b)(a+b)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can facto questions that don't follow the rules of regular factoring

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyway, I'm working on it right now sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't understand. Because 11 isn't a factor of two, you have to what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now we have to use that equation I told you about, because no matter what you do, even if you take the 2 and multiply by 1, you'll still only have 14-2 which is not 11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First off, think of your equation as abc okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A is whatever x^2 is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B is the x value or the second term in an equation: x^2 - x ←

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. And b is 11x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And c is 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, but you don't need the x for this value. Also, because the - in fornt of the 11 is part of the equation, make sure to not forget it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so b= -11 and c=14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your eqation is now this: -11+ or - the \[-11 + or - the \sqrt{-11^{2}}-(4)(2)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all of the variables after the squareroot sign are under the square root okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The next step i: \[\sqrt{121 - 112}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now you have the square root of 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the next step is: -11 + or - 3 / 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when I say over 2, I mean the whole equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, I'm doing my best to follow.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know it's confusing, here I'm going to try and attach a file again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, too many people are on. Log onto facebook really quick, but stay on here as well. Just open a new tab k. I'll post it there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I deactivated my facebook. Do you have an instant messenger?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't see you there, maybe I can email it to you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do on yahoo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey what's your messenger info

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ramona.windley@Hotmail.com

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay,are you online?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You;re bubble for gmail says you're not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gmail?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hotmail sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i sent the link to your hotmail, just log in
