Question

how dou you factor 3t^2+5t-1

Answer 1

This trinomial can not be factored. Why?
Because the Discriminant is not a perfect square.
D = b^2 - 4ac = 25 + 12 = 37

Answer 2

thanks

Answer 3

3t^2+5t-1
use quadratic formula.
\[(-b+/-\sqrt{b ^{2}-4ac})/2a\]

Answer 4

so it would be -5+-square root of 25+12/6
=(-5+-sqrt of 37)/6 and solve
