Factor 3x^2 +2x +10?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find two numbers when multiplied, it gives u 10, and when add it gives u 2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(3x+5)(x-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for u fanned me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks c:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

always for ur help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@HARSH123 i dont think that is correct. when you foil it it would give u \[3x^2-6x+5x-10 \]\[3x^2-x-10 \] and that is not what she is looking for

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

\[3x^2+2x+10\] is irreducible and cannot be factored. Is the problem correctly copied?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh u r geneous wowwwwwwwwwwww

OpenStudy (anonymous):

she might need to use the quadratic formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

she simply wants the values that i helped her

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes the whole problem is: What is the graph of the function f(x) = 3x^2 +2x+10/x+3?

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

again, this expression CANNOT be factored. You didn't help her by giving her an incorrect factoring :-) If you're trying to find an oblique asymptote for that rational expression, you need to do long division.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he oblique asmptote would be 3x-7 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@whpalmer4

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Yes, that appears to be correct. Here's a picture: (ignore the vertical line, that's an artifact of the graphing software. purple line is your fraction, blue line is the oblique asymptote)
