Factoring help needed!! Please!!!

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

\[x^2+17x+30\]

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

ok , so u need two numbers that there sum is 17 and there multiplicatin is 30 :D what do u think ?

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Umm Same numbers for each. Right?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

mmm not really its like a guessing game :) first find two numbers a,b such that ab=30

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Well. I have all the factors of 30 but none of them equal 17.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

no no ok 30 =30*1 but 30+1=31 30=6*5 but 6+5 =11 30=3 * 10 but 3+10 30=15*2 15+2=17 see we need the sum of factors =17 not the factors them selves , got it now :o

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Ok. Yes. Makes sense. May I finish it up and see what I get?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

sure ^^ show me what u got

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

(x+15)(x+2) is that correct?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

yep :)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

\(\checkmark \)

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Hahha!!:D Ok Thanx:)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

\(\huge\cal\color{pink}{^❤ _❤❤np_❤❤^❤_❤}\)

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

:O OMG. That's soooo pretty:)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

ikr xD

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

What about this kind? \[x^2-13x+36\] I know it's 4 and 9. Not sure which ones negative though.

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

nvm. I got it. They're both negativesxD

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

well 36=4*9 and 4+9=13 now check sighns 4+9\(\neq -13\) -4+9\(\neq -13\) 4-9\(\neq -13\) -4-9\(=- 13\)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

yeah ur correct :) but wait ,for the first one u gave factors of 2,15 but in factors of function u put - instead of + so its (x-2)(x-15) nw tell me for x^2-13x+36 how it should be like ?

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

(x-4)(x-9)

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Lol. You mean (x+2)(x+15) Not -?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

wait im soryy lol a bit sleepy ignore what i said

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

ur 100% correct xD

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

lol. haahahaha!! get some sleep:) It's ok though:) Everyone makes mistakes anyways.

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

XD. OK:) Makes me feel smart now:)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

yes you are smart ;)

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Not in every situation thoughxD

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):
