Question

3x^2+1=-4x

Answer 1

Solve? factor?

Answer 2

she wants us to solve by factoring or taking the square root

Answer 3

okay, well fist thing you would do is add the 4x to both sides, so it would be 3\[^{2}\]+4x+1

Answer 4

okay

Answer 5

*3x^2+4x+1

The only factors that they have is 1 and 1 and there are 2 plus signs, so that means there are no negative signs

Answer 6

so it woulf be (3x+1)(x+1)?

Answer 7

Yup, simple right?

Answer 8

yeah, so then the answer would be x= 1?

Answer 9

no, it would be -1, and -1/3
Remember that the equations are x+1=0
and 3x+1=0

so to get x by itself you have to subtract them
x=-1 and 3x=-1

Now you would divide by to get x by itself so it would be x=-1/3

Answer 10

okay, i got it

Answer 11

x^2-1=0

Answer 12

Do you like factoring or taking the square root better?

Answer 13

factoring

Answer 14

Okay, so what do you think the factors of this one are?
since it's negative it means it had to have a negative and positive number

Answer 15

Like the last problem, it has a 1, so the multiples are 1 and 1, but there is no x value so it has to be (x+1) and (x-1) when factored they equal x^2-x+x-1
The x's would cancel each other out and you would be left with x^2-1

Answer 16

im confused

Answer 17

so the final answer would be x^2-1?
