Question

x^2 + 4x + 3 factor the solution?

Answer 1

Want to know a trick?

Answer 2

yes please.

Answer 3

times the first X * 3 (last number) = 3.. What factors of 3 add up to 4?

Answer 4

(m-2)^2 + 4(m-2) +3 = 0

where x = m-2 .... maybe; then it might be m+2, i aint determined that part yet :)

Answer 5

3 and 1

Answer 6

so your new middle numbers will be 3 and 1

Answer 7

(x^2 +***3x***)(***1x***+3)

Answer 8

So you factor out an X from the first one. x(x+3) and from the second one you can factor out a 1.. 1(x+3)

Answer 9

m^2-4m+4
+4m-8
+3
-----------
m^2 -1 = 0

m = +-1

x = +-1 - 2 = -3,-1

dunno about the signs tho

Answer 10

So you end up with x(x+3)+1(x+3)
The x and the 1 on the outside is your first pair (x+1)

Answer 11

then your second pair is (x+3)-- THEY ARE THE SAME

Answer 12

So your answer would be (x+1)(x+3)

Answer 13

woohoo; the roots are good :)

(x+1)(x+3) lol

Answer 14

Questions?

Answer 15

You had to factor that one by PAIRING

Answer 16

Answer 17

Easier to understand.. Yes.

Answer 18
