Question

Please factorize this trinomial & explain
12x^2+11x+2

Answer 1

12x^2+11x+2


12x^2+8x+3x+2


(12x^2+8x)+(3x+2)


4x(3x+2)+1(3x+2)


(4x+1)(3x+2)


So 12x^2+8x+3x+2 factors to (4x+1)(3x+2)


In other words 12x^2+8x+3x+2=(4x+1)(3x+2)

Answer 2

The key is to break up 11x into 8x and 3x, notice how 8 and 3 add to 11 and multiply to 24 (which is 12*2). From there, we factor by grouping

Answer 3

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!! =]
