Question

3y^2+5Y+2 does anybody know how to factor this one?>.

Answer 1

Factorise using quadratic fomulas : http://www.analyzemath.com/Equations/proof_quadratic.html
Ans should be y=-1 and y=-2/3

Answer 2

I'm guessing y and Y is the same variable. Your expression is in the form \[ay^2+by+c\]
You can apply the quadratic equation: \[{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}} \over 2a\]

Answer 3

sorry FOLKS!!but I'm not that satisfied with your answers..tnk u for hitting me though....

Answer 4

do what phoenix said it is a simple quadratic.

Answer 5

\[3y^2+5y+2\]
a=3
b=5
c=2

Plug those numbers in the quadratic equation and you get
\[y={{-5\pm \sqrt{25-24}} \over 6}={{-5 \pm \sqrt{1}} \over 6}\]
\[\sqrt{1}=1\]
Therefore, \[y={{-5+1} \over 6}={-4 \over 6}=-{2 \over 3}\] and \[y={{-5-1} \over 6} = {-6 \over 6} = -1\]

Answer 6

@PhoenixFire did u use the method of decomposition in solving the problem>?

Answer 7

No I used the Quadratic Formula which produces two results. Because the forma is + or - the square root. So you have to apply the formula twice, once using + and once use -.

Answer 9

aaahh..alright i got you now...

Answer 10

is this right?..5+-/(5)^2-4(3)(2)/2(3)

Answer 11

-5 in the beginning. but yes that's correct.

Answer 12

you forgot square root

Answer 13

square root of what?

Answer 14

No the square root is there... it's just noted by a /

Answer 15

square root of (b^2-4ac) term.

Answer 16

it's actually in the eqUATION...TAKE A LOOK AGAIN...AND SEE IF THE SQUARE ROOT IS MISSING..

Answer 17

SO FINAL ANSWER WOULD BE 2 AND 1

Answer 18

IS MY ANSWER RIGHT?

Answer 19

No. Look at my answer.

Answer 20

WHAT?!!?!? :_(

Answer 21

SO WHAT DO U THINK IS THE RIGHT ANSWER..?

Answer 22

Look above.
y=-1 and y=-2/3

Answer 23

AAAH..OKAY..
IT'S JUST THAT YOUR EQUATION IS QUIET CONFUSING..

Answer 24

TNX A LOT...BUT CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOR?..CAN YOU FACTOR THAT EQUATION, FOR ME TO SEE HOW IT GOES///

Answer 25

It's the quadratic equation. It may be confusing, but it's useful to learn and use correctly.
Also, can you please drop the capslock.

Answer 26

sorry about..anyway thnx u so much i learned a lot from you today,,
