Factor 9x^2+15x-14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to factor?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, then I'll try to help

This expression can be factorised with a little trial and error. First lets assume the factors of the term 9x^2 are 3x and 3x; then we have (3x + ?)(3x - ?) Can you find factors of 14 that can replace the question marks?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7 and -2

OpenStudy (kropot72):

Correct! \[9x ^{2}+15x-14=(3x+7)(3x-2)\]
