Question

Factorise ...
(if able to pleASE include steps)

Answer 1

\[3x ^{2}+5x+2\]

Answer 2

you can write 5x as 3x + 2x

Answer 3

for any quadratic
\[ax^2 + bx + c \]

ok... so multiply by the coefficient of the leading term by the constant

3 * 2 = 6

what are the factors of 6 that add to 5...... 2 + 3

so using this information write

(ax + factor1)(ax + factor 2)
------------------------
a

or

\[\frac{(3x + 3)(3x + 2)}{3} \]

there is a common factor in the 1st binomial that will allow you to remove a common factor with the denominator.

whats left is the factorised quadratic

Answer 4

the method above works in every case..
