Question

"Factor this trinomial"
3x^2+7x+2

Answer 1

Thank you for helping :)

Answer 2

okay
1. Multiple the leading coefficient (3) with the constant (2)
2. You will get 6, then find coefficient of middle term (7)
3. Now ask your self: What times to 6 and adds to 7: (6 and 1)
4. write two binomials with leading coefficent (3x`2 +6)(3x`2+1)
5. But since (3x`2+6) has common factor divide both by 3 to get x`2 +2
6. write answer (x`2+2) (3z`2+1)
