Help out please

Nnesha (nnesha):

sure! do you know how to factor out the quadratic equations ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really, I need to be shown the step to understand it

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm \frac{ 3x+4 }{ 15x^2+26x+8 }\] first we should factor out the denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right, but I would need to do something like (x+ ) (x+ )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

Nnesha (nnesha):

well not for this one bec leading coefficient isn't one

Nnesha (nnesha):

you have to apply the AC method ( find two numbers when you multiply them you should get `the product` of AC but when you add or subtract them you should get the middle term )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well I have to go, but pls leave the steps sorry

Nnesha (nnesha):

oh well i can wait :)
