factor 2k^2+2k-60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try taking out the common factor first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know what that is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i tried 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

finf the common factor then

OpenStudy (uri):

@AtehBoma Now look you're right it's 2 Take the 2 out 2(k^2+k+30)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 2(k^2+k-30) ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats it AtehBoma

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2[k^2+k-30]=2[(k+6)(k-5)], so k = -6 or k=5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You shouldn't give answers away...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

me? sorry

OpenStudy (uri):

Hold on girl...It can be factorized more @AtehBoma Find a number when adding or subracting is 1 and when multiplying is 30 So, +6- 5=1 and 6 x 5 =30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I couldn't find a way to explain that @uri

OpenStudy (uri):

So, k^2+k-30 k^2+6k-5k-30 Now take the common k^2+6k-5k-30 k(k+6)-5(k+6) (k-5)(k+6) Understand @AtehBoma

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you all i was strugging with this

OpenStudy (uri):

Yw kiddie.
