Question

6x^2+5-4=

Answer 1

What are the instructions for the posted problem?

Answer 2

its factoring diamond

Answer 3

There's an x missing here, I think --> 6x^2+5-4= --> after the "5."
I don't know the diamond technique. I can factor by grouping.

Answer 4

yeah factor by grouping :)

Answer 5

6x^2 +5x -4

What are two numbers that multiply to -24 AND add to 5 ?

Answer 6

2?

Answer 7

i think e. e

Answer 8

ithink anyways i have the other side of it.. its (2x-1)( )

Answer 9

Okay. What number times -1 will multiply to -4.
-1*? = - 4 ? Help me out a little bit, and I can help you finish this. Okay?

Answer 10

1

Answer 11

-1 * 1 = -1 so that is not it.

Answer 12

1 can multiply -4

Answer 13

no wait wat?? i need to find a number that can multiply by 4?

Answer 14

Yes, so -1 times 4 = -4 which means

6x^2 +5x -4 = (2x-1)( ? +4 )

We're almost there. (2x) times what equals 6 x^2 ?

Answer 15

3x?

Answer 16

so its 3x-4?

Answer 17

Let's see if it works:

6x^2 +5x -4 = (2x-1)( 3x +4 ) ?? @chubbytots What do you think?

Answer 18

yep its right actually im answering a puzzle e. e

Answer 19

that's right @Directrix

Answer 20

\[3x^2-11x-20=\]

Answer 21

>>so its 3x-4?
I did not get that.

Answer 22

its 3x+4

Answer 23

for da first group and the second group is?

Answer 24

(2x-1)*(3x-4) multiplies to 6x^2 -11x + 4 which is not the given problem.

Answer 25

Okay, let's try that.

Answer 26

6x^2 -11x + 4=(2x-1)(3x+4)

Answer 27

(2x-1)*(3x+4) = 6x^2 -3x + 8x -4 = 6x^2 + 5x - 4.

Answer 28

thats da second question and da second question is \[3x^2-11x-20=(3x+4)( ? )\]

Answer 29

i mean third**

Answer 30

I only saw the first problem.

Answer 31

i need the third problem cuz this is a pzzle v. v

Answer 32

3x^2 -11x - 20 = (3x+4) * ( )

What times 3x is equal to 3 x^2 ?

Answer 33

4x+3?

Answer 34

3x^2 -11x - 20 = (3x+4) * (x )

Answer 35

3x times 4x = 12 x^2 -->doesn't work

Answer 36

is it positve 3?

Answer 37

3x times 3 = 9x.

Answer 38

yes

Answer 39

Oh, you mean ( x + 3) as the second factor?

Answer 40

yes

Answer 41

(3x+4) * (x + 3 ) = 3x^2 -11x - 20 ??

3x^2 + 9x + 4x + 12 Nope.

Answer 42

We could guess forever.

Answer 43

xDD i think lol and another one :O

Answer 44

Here is where we are: 3x^2 -11x - 20 = (3x+4) * (x )
We have to get -20 for the last term.

4 times what equals - 20 ?--->

Answer 45

i think its x-3?

Answer 46

4 times - 3 is not -20.

Answer 47

i mean 2?

Answer 48

i mean 5 sorry :o

Answer 49

4 times 5 is close but 4 times 5 does not equal -20

Answer 50

hmmmm

Answer 51

i think we need to make one of them a negative right?

Answer 52

Yes.

Answer 53

so-5?

Answer 54

Yes

Answer 55

its x-5?

Answer 56

3x^2 -11x - 20 = (3x+4) * (x - 5 )

Answer 57

That works.

Answer 58

yes

Answer 59

\[6x^2+11x-10=(2x+5)(?)\]

Answer 60

It's your turn to do this one. :) You come up with the factors, and I will check.

Answer 61

i'll be guessing dou

Answer 62

That's what I ended up doing because you didn't like factoring by grouping.

Answer 63

2x+1

Answer 64

lol actually this s factoring by grouping.. and i need to do factor diamond

Answer 65

its like two steps first is factoring by grouping and factoring diamond

Answer 66

That diamond thing is sophisticated guessing for me.

Answer 67

x. x so can we do factoring by grouping?

Answer 68

(2x+1)*(2x+5) = 4x^2 + 12x + 5 --> This is from your guess.

Answer 69

It didn't work.

Answer 70

2x-5?

Answer 71

I'm going to group.

Answer 72

is it 6x10?

Answer 73

6x10=60 ryt and wet going to make one of them a negative?

Answer 74

6 + 10 is not 11

Answer 75

15 and -4.

Answer 76

x^2 + 11x - 10 = x^2 + 15x - 4x - 10

Answer 77

5x+2?

Answer 78

This thread is so long that I have lost the problem.

Answer 79

(2x + 5) * ( 3x + 2)

That is my last factoring problem on this puzzle.

Answer 80

so its 3x+2?

Answer 81

3x-2?

Answer 82

6x^2 + 15x - 4x - 10 = 3x(2x + 5) - 2(2x + 5) = (2x + 5) * ( 3x - 2).

Right.

Answer 83

owoo that was brain storm >,<

Answer 84

The more of this stuff you do, the better you get. Except, I seem to be getting worse.

Answer 85

ohh yah sure cuz when im learning this i was lazy thats why i came up here >.<

Answer 86

What is the next factoring problem?

Answer 87

how abut this?
\[7x^2+13x-2=(x+2)(?)\]

Answer 88

xDD under the typing box thou
v
v
v
v
v

Answer 89
