Question

what is s^2+st-6t^2 factor please asap

Answer 1

asap=(a^2)sp

for s^2+st-6t^2
what two things can we multiply to get s^2 ?

Answer 2

lol i meant asap as soon as possiable

Answer 3

I know, I was joking with you because you are trying to rush us :P

the serious help I am trying to give you is my question: what times what =s^2 ?

Answer 4

s and s

Answer 5

good, so we know our factorization will at least have
(s+_)(s-_)

Answer 6

we know one will be + and the other minus because the last term is negative, which can only come from multiplying a negative and positive

Answer 7

okay

Answer 8

now to fill in the other terms you need to think off all the combinations that multiply to 6t^2
what are they?

Answer 9

3t times 2 t

Answer 10

there are others, like 6t*t or even 6t^2*1, but yes you have the right one
in the future be prepared to check them all though

Answer 11

so knowing that the other terms are 3t and 2t that leaves two possibilities
(s+3t)(s-2t)
or
(s+2t)(s-3t)

which one is the correct factorization of
s^2+st-6t^2 ???

Answer 12

the first one

Answer 13

how do you know?

Answer 14

becausee when i muilty the two they equal 6 and when added equals 1 rte

Answer 15

exactly :)
good job!
