Question

How do you factor: 5x^2 + 3x = -4

Answer 1

5x^2+3x+4=0

Answer 2

now factor it

Answer 3

you can derivate it

Answer 4

Ohh! Thank you.

Answer 5

derivate it?
what is that?

Answer 6

ok so what did you get? we will check it for you

Answer 7

prime, you can not factor it

Answer 8

look at the graph, see how it does not cross the x axis.
that means that you can not factor it

Answer 9

find b^2-4ac
if the result is the perfect root,,, u can find the factor directly,,, but if not,,, find the factor with X = [-b+or - (b^2-4ac)^0.5]/2a

Answer 10

yes this is the quadratic formula, which will identify your solutions
the b^2-4ac is the discriminant and that will tell you how many solutions you will have
