New Algebra Question!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Factor completely: x2 − 3x + 7 Prime (x + 7)(x − 1) (x − 7)(x − 1) (x + 7)(x + 1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does anyone knows this and can show me the work, please?

hartnn (hartnn):

Compare your quadratic equation with \(ax^2+bx+c=0\) find a,b,c then calculate \(b^2-4ac\) if it is perfect square then it can be factored, else it is prime

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, but what does this equation equal too?

hartnn (hartnn):

sorry here its quadratic function f(x)= \(ax^2+bx+c\) which equation ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it prime? oh, here it is... x2 − 3x + 7

hartnn (hartnn):

first did u find b^2-4ac, its value will tell you whether its prime or not...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, I don't understand how to solve this! :(

hartnn (hartnn):

Compare your quadratic equation with \(ax^2+bx+c\) find a,b,c u got this? a=..? b=....? c=...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is a 1, b 3, c 7?
