Question

Which should be factored using the Bottoms Up method? (Points : 2)
x^2 -7x + 10
x^2 - 121
x^2 + 20x + 100
all should be factored using the bottoms up method.
none can be factored using the bottoms up method.

Answer 1

@iGreen

Answer 2

lol never heard of the bottoms up method!!

Answer 3

:(

Answer 4

bottom up method haha what the heck
they mean ac method perhaps

Answer 5

No idea.

Answer 6

Why does no one know this method?!?!

Answer 7

bottom up method, could be the same as ac
just people create nonsense different names to the same thing

Answer 8

oh

Answer 9

Well could you help me?

Answer 10

they are trying to be artistic ^_-

Answer 11

oh lol

Answer 12

well clearly the second can be factored using that kind of method
rather it is the difference of two squares

Answer 13

so think about the first
x^2-7x+10
here a=1
c=10
so we just look for factor of 10
that add up to -7

Answer 14

-2 and -5 are those two numbers
so x^2-2x-5x+10=x(x-2)-5(x-2)=(x-2)(x-5)

Answer 15

so we can factor it using ac method

Answer 16

let me see google what it says about this bottom up method of yours haha

Answer 17

well google said it is actually ac method with a>1
so here those given one cannot be applied to this method

Answer 18

eh nonsense about factoring really!
answer to your question is no they cannot

Answer 19

thanks man :) i really appericate it. Could you help with a few more?

Answer 20

clear! don't see why this question is asked there a lack of what for here

Answer 21

go ahead and ask i will leave soon

Answer 22

Find the 2 solutions for

6x^2 + 11x +3=0


Find the 2 solutions for

10x^2-7x+1=0

Answer 23

use the ac method again
take 6x3=18
factors of 18 that add up to -11
so 9 and 2
your equation can be rewrtitten as 6x^2+2x+9x+3=0
2x(3x+1)+3(3x+1)=0
(3x+1)(2x+3)=0
3x+1=0 or 2x+3=0
x=-1/3 or x=-3/2

Answer 24

you will have to do repeat the same steps with the other one

Answer 25

try and let's how you did

Answer 26

so... any attempt?

Answer 27

sorry. I had to do something

Answer 28

ok once you done doing that then try to do this
