i need help factoring these....
@austinL
Anyway, we have \[\frac{(6x^2-32x+10)}{(3x^2-15x)} \div \frac{(3x^2+110x-4)}{(2x^2-32)}\] Which is, \[\frac{(6x^2-32x+10)}{(3x^2-15x)} \times \frac{(2x^2-32)}{(3x^2+11x-4)}\] Lets begin with, \[6x^2-32x+10\]
Go Austin!!! #swag
I don't know what to do
Ok, lets divide out the biggest factor that we can, what would that be?
2?
Right, so that gives us, \[2(3x^2-16x+5)\]
okay.
So we now no that whatever factorization we get will be multiplied by two. What would we put in the first spots of the pair? 2(___-?)(___-?)
2(x-?)(3x-?)... right?
okay
i don't know how to find the other two number still
So, we know we need a 16 and a 5, right? So we know that we need a 5 in there. So, we have a 5 in the first blank, and a 1 in the second.
2(x-5)(3x-1)
lol okay
i don't know how to do the other 3 equations either
Ok... well... Do you want me to factor these out? Or do you want me to try and teach you? I am open to both ideas. It is whatever you want.
if you do them it might be faster i dont want you to spend too much time with it haha
Almost there.
When they are all completely factored we get this, \[\frac{2(x-5)(3x-1)}{3(x-5)x} \times \frac{2(x-4)(x+4)}{(x+4)(3x-1)}\]
Can you take it from here?
yes! thanks! so you can have the x outside the parenthesis on the bottom of the first part?
You can indeed.
do you get 4(x-4)/3x as a final answer
Uno momento por favor.
I do get that as a final answer.
do you know how to factor x^2-5x
