Factor completely: 3a^2 - 14a - 24

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

We have to use the hard diamond method here. Are you aware on how to use it?

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

Any clues?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No sorry. However, apparently it can be done by other means though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nevermind, I got it. FOIL method

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But yeah, I got the answer. Thanks anyways.

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

FOIL method is used to multiply, not to factor.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I had a list of possible answers. I just used it to check it. (3a + 4)(a - 6) is what I got as my answer.

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

Hm, you can do that, but that also means that you need to check every one of your answers. If you'd like, I can teach you an easier method, but the choice is yours.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

Since the 'Draw' box here is a little too small, follow me on the twiddla whiteboard. http://www.twiddla.com/781763

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nevermind, it's fine. I gotta get this done so I can be off. Thank you anyways. Also, howe do I delete questinos?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How* Questions*

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

Lol The test scores are yours and not mine. If you might be considering your time to be wasted if you learn, my time is most certainly being wasted tutoring then. Either way, you cannot delete questions. The feature has been terminated.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thanks. If I need to learn this diamond method later I will in my courses later on.

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

Anytime.
