can i have help?
Select one of the factors of 3x2 + 12x - 36
A. 6 B. x + 2 C. x + 6 D. x - 3
the 2 is one of the little numbers i forget the proper name
Ok say what again?
3x2 + 12x - 36 the 3x(2) the 2 is an exponent or something like that.
not really sure if that made any sense
u can use synthetic division or replace -a in case of x+a and see if u get a zero
whaaaa?
ok. u have x+2, if u put x+2=0 u get x=-2 right?
i guess...
u guess?? ok replace x=-2 in the polynomial: \[\large 3x^2+12x-36=3(-2)^2+12(-2)-36=3\cdot4-24-36 \] \[\large =12-24-36=-48 \] which is not zero, so x+2 is not a factor got it?
not really
she praticlly told you the answer you just need to study, it
dont post if you're not gonna help. i have to teach myself everything. guess what?! i have a hard time. seriously
okay okay, remember i'm just going to try.
which ways of factoring a polynomial did u learn?
3x2+12x−363(x(2)+4x−12)3(x+6)(x−2)
i dont even know..
