Question

what is the factorization of the polynomial below?

x^3+2x^2-35x

zarkon · Answer

$$x(x+7)(x-5)$$

anonymous · Answer

Zarkon is beast!

anonymous · Answer

Factor out x:
x(x^2+2x-35)
Then factor the quatratic:
x(x-5)(x+7)

unknown · Answer

3x^2+30x+48

unknown · Answer

..
any takers

anonymous · Answer

3(x+2)(x+8)

unknown · Answer

-x^2-15x-54

Learn how to do it for yourself.

im in 6th grade give me some slack

anonymous · Answer

I was doing this in 3rd. This place is not for people to answer every problem for you, rather to help you understand things you do not.

zarkon · Answer

use WolframAlpha

anonymous · Answer

Make clear what you do not understand, and you will be aided.

anonymous · Answer

Or WolframAlpha, if you have no interest in actually learning anything for yourself, anyway.

unknown · Answer

i wanna learn how to do it on my own. can you guide me step by step on this next problem

unknown · Answer

8x^2+10x-25

unknown · Answer

i just don't understand how to factor when there is no gcf and there is a bigger number in front.

anonymous · Answer

First, factor out the 8.
Then, try to find two numbers m and l so that:
m+l=the coefficient of the middle term
and
ml is equal to the constant term.
If that doesn't yield an obvious solution, look up a technique called 'completing the square,' and ask if you have any questions.

unknown · Answer

okay so the factors of 8 are
1 & 8
and 2&4.

anonymous · Answer

No, factor out the 8, as in:
8(x^2+(5/4)x-(25/8))

unknown · Answer

whatt.
*8x^2+

anonymous · Answer

What's the problem?

unknown · Answer

8x^2+10x-25

unknown · Answer

ohh

unknown · Answer

uhmm i'm not comprehending what the (5/4)x-(25/8))

anonymous · Answer

What happens when you divide 10x and -25 by 8?
