factor 11-15x-14x^2
-14x^2-15x+11 do what you did before now
just find the roots of this equation and factorize
this one confuses me I am not even sure where to start ]\
just see how the roots of quadratic equations are found
factor by grouping is what I am working on not quads
well in every equation , factor by grouping is not possible. If you find the roots you can easily group them. like x^2+2x+1 has root x=-1 so it is (x+1)^2
okay: multiples of -14: (-1,14) (1,-14) (-2,7) (2,-7) multiples of 11: (1,11) find the product of the multiples that gives you -15x (1,11) (-2,7) = (1)(7) + (-2)(22) = -15 now xs and ys together in brackets (x,y) (-2x+1)(7x+11)
thank you that helps alot
you are welcome, if you don't understand any part.. just say so :)
