a2 – 5a – 20 (factor)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is not factorable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3a-20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a2 – 5a – 20 a2 – 5a – 20 (a )(a ) 10*-2 -5*4 (a-5)(a+4) <----

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

u did wrong @aussy123 :/

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

It can't be factored.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i look it up on google and tit says that i need to use the quadratic formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it can be factored, Mathway just can't factor it...yep @rajfk35 do you know it?

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

it can't be factored but u can find the solution of this 2 degree equation by quadratic formula:) @rajfk35

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i dont know how to tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but truly there are many ways to factor this problem but idt the quadratic formula will be the easiest..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know this problem can be factored...because I had this same exact problem 2 weeks ago

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is up top?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea try that...I believe thats correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

was it correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well idk yet because is not a test is a hw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but thans for the help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NP!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha its not factorable because on the equation solver it automaticaly makes it power of 2 instead of multiplying just by 2 so the the answer i evaluated is correct soonnn!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well I had this same exact problem and I had to give them a factored problem...Mathway doent factor it but itcan be factored
