Factor:
12s^2+25s-7

anonymous · Answer

Do you know the quadratic equation?

If you use it to solve for the roots, then the factorization is simply:
$$(x-root_1)(x-root_2)$$

hello ,,smagyar" are you from Hungary ? because i am from there too

anonymous · Answer

can you show me how to solve it by splitting the middle term?
and my parents are

anonymous · Answer

I have: 12s^2 + 21s +4s -7

anonymous · Answer

okay, so what is a factor of both 21s and 7?  What is a factor of both 12s^2 and 4s?

anonymous · Answer

I thought i do the first two then the last two?

anonymous · Answer

No, you want to pair them up by the common factor.  Consider how 7 and 21x have a common factor while 4s and 7 don't have a common factor.

anonymous · Answer

7(3s-1)+4s(3s+1) it doesnt match up in the parenthesis?

jhonyy9 · Answer

so i have wrote this question to you there just because ,,magyar" mean ,,hungarian " but suppose you know it sure

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, so you're going to have to split them differently.

anonymous · Answer

You could try $12x^2 -3s + 28x - 7 $.
