Question

Factor x2 - 2x + 3.

Answer 1

do you know how to use the discriminant...to see if a quadratic can be factored..?

Answer 2

@campbell_st no sadly

Answer 3

ok.... so I'll tellm you the quadratic is prime... and can'e be factored

Answer 4

ax^2 + bx + c
discriminant is b^2 - 4ac

x^2 - 2x + 3
discriminant = (-2)^2 - 4*1*3 = 4 - 12 = -8

because the discriminant is negative we can say that there are no factors
x^2 - 2x + 3 is prime
