Question

Factorize y=2x^2+3x-2

Answer 1

+2 could be 1*2 or -1*-2
-2 could be -1*2 or 1*-2
Try all these combinations until you get the one that works, it's trial and error

Answer 2

for instance
(2x+1)(1x-2) foil it out and see what you get

Answer 3

you get 2x^2+x-4x-2 = 2x^2-3x-2, not the same as the problem so that's not the right one

Answer 4

(-2x+1)(-x-2) = 2x^2 -x +4x -2 = 2x^2 +3x-2, same as the problem, so (-2x+1)(-x-2) is the answer

Answer 5
