Question

What are the factors of 3x2 + 10x + 3

Answer 1

use the quadratic formula to solve this one

Answer 2

@Serenaishurting you can also use factoring is you wish

Answer 3

*if

Answer 4

how?

Answer 5

Does it specify which method to use?

Answer 6

\[x=\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{ }\]
where
\[ax^2+bx+c=0\]

Answer 7

no it doesnt

Answer 8

ok so you can use the formula then since @saseal typed it out ;p
\[x=\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{ }\]
where
\[ax^2+bx+c=0\]

Answer 9

Start by listing your abc values

Answer 10

\[x=\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{ 2a }\]

Answer 11

sorry lagged and the 2a didnt show up

Answer 12

okay thanks i got it.

Answer 13

yw

Answer 14

Another way is possible.....just factor it by noting that both the coefficient of the squared term "3" and the numeric constant is "3" both are prime numbers. This means less trial and error.

Answer 15

It factors quite nicely: (x + 3) (3x + 1)

Answer 16

can yall help with another?

Answer 17

sure

Answer 18

Graph of a cubic polynomial that falls to the left and rises to the right with x intercepts negative 2, negative 1, and 2

Which of the following functions best represents the graph?

Answer 19

Which of the following functions best represents the graph?
f(x) = x3 + x2 − 4x − 4
f(x) = x3 + 4x2 − x − 4
f(x) = x3 + 3x2 − 4x − 12
f(x) = x3 + 2x2 − 4x − 8

Answer 20

your best bet is to graph it out, cubic stuff is pretty messy

Answer 21

okay

Answer 22

lemme try teaching you how to factor this without graphing

Answer 23

okay

Answer 24

This problem is providing you the factors. Just multiply them and get the answer.

Answer 25

we take this 1st option\[f(x)=x^3+x^2-4x-4\]
we can rewrite this as \[f(x)=x^2(x+1)-4(x-1)\]
