Question

Factor completely: 2x2 + 10x + 12

Answer 1

Is that 2x to the second power?

Answer 2

Yeahh sorry >.<

Answer 3

Okay, what you want to do first is put them both into two sets of parentheses. Put it down something like this: (2x + 6) (x + 2)

Answer 4

I think, I might be wrong here.

Answer 5

Oh, wait. I think what I wrote was the answer. Oops.

Answer 6

But I think that's at least part of it.

Answer 7

Well my choices are.
2(x + 2)(x + 6)
2(x + 2)(x + 3)
2(x + 1)(x + 6)
(x + 2)(x + 3)

Answer 8

So I'd assume the first one..

Answer 9

Pretty much.

Answer 10

Thankyouu xD.

Answer 11

Okay, so now that you have 2x + 2 and x + 6, you need to check it,first.

Answer 12

You do know how to do that, right?

Answer 13

And I checked it, it's correct. You can move on now. Bye. :D

Answer 14

@Surana Heeyy, so, I've moved on to the next problem. I don't understand it >.> Can you tell me how you got (2x + 6) (x + 2)

Answer 15

Okay, what you do is, you see the initial problem?

Answer 16

The start of it, the 2x^2 +10 + 12?

Answer 17

Yeahh

Answer 18

Okay, what you do is, you put it into two groups, you have to split up the numbers.

Answer 19

So basically, 2x ^ 2 + 10 + 12 becomes 2x +2 because you divide 12 by 6, which is 2, but you put the 6 on the other side, explaining the X + 6. As for the 2x^2, you have to put one x on each side, which explains that.
