Question

factor completely

30x to the 2nd power-25x+24x-20

Answer 1

So your question is:

\[30x ^{2}-25x+24x-20\]

Well, first combine like terms to get this:

\[30x ^{2}-x-20\]

And that makes for some fun. I'd recommend using the quadratic formula on this one:

\[\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b ^{2}-4ac} }{ 2a }\]

Simply plug in 30 for a, -1 for b, and -20 for c. Solve the TWO equations and there you have it.
