Question

factor
3s^2+10s+8

Answer 1

(s+2)(3s+4)

Answer 2

(3s + 4 )(s + 2 )

Answer 3

Let me explain a bit.
6 + 4 is 10.
4 * 2 is 8.
3*2 is 6.
We have a factor of 3 here.
We need to know what we can add to get the middle number and what we can multiply to get the rightmost number.
Hope this helps.

Answer 4

If we work this backwards, we have:
(3s+4)(s+2)
3s*s = 3s^2
3s*2 = 6s
4*s = 4s
4*2 = 8
Adding together we have:
3s^2+6s+4s+8
3s^2+10s+8

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

so the answer has to be whatever adds up to the middle and multiply to the last one?

Answer 6

but 2x4 doesnt equal 10??
