factor completely 3x^2 + 2x - 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you just want to take each of the terms and factor them... so for the first one you would have 3 * x * x, can you do the others?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I've done almost all of the steps. I'm just stuck at (3x-4)(x+2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, that is not right... sorry let me say that again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, that is how you would do it and that would be the factored form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

unless you have to find the x values once you have factored it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah? It doesn't need to be finalized anymore?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know what the teacher wants?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the answer to be completely simplified

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would say that is factored completely

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That answer should be acceptable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay cool thanks:)
