10x^2 + 3x + 9

maddy1251 · Answer

What are you solving for? Factoring? Finding 'x'?

anonymous · Answer

Yes, factoring could you help please?

maddy1251 · Answer

Sure thing.

anonymous · Answer

Okay thank you so much Maddy.

maddy1251 · Answer

You're welcome, just give me a second :-)

maddy1251 · Answer

$$10x^{2}+3x+9$$

anonymous · Answer

Yes that's the equation. Don't I add 3x to both sides of the equation?

maddy1251 · Answer

When you factor a polynomial, you want to find common factors to put it into the form of (x+a)(x+b). If factoring is what you're doing

maddy1251 · Answer

We know to get the leading coefficient, we need to multiply 5x and 2x together.
(5x   )(2x   )

anonymous · Answer

So like it's laid out like this: $$10x ^{2}+3x+9+3x?$$

maddy1251 · Answer

I'm not really sure how you got that.

maddy1251 · Answer

We are factoring to form two binomials to create the polynomial

anonymous · Answer

Wait so it's the answer?

maddy1251 · Answer

By any chance, do you have answer choices to this question? That way I know exactly what we are looking for.

anonymous · Answer

Because that doesn't look like the answer. I'm in 9th grade and I need a lot of polynomial help.

anonymous · Answer

No I have no answer choice.

maddy1251 · Answer

Okay. And it wants the factored form, right?

maddy1251 · Answer

I am assuming so since it isn't set to 0, it doesn't want to know what 'x' is.

anonymous · Answer

okay thanks for your help anyways.

maddy1251 · Answer

I am working on the answer give me one minute

maddy1251 · Answer

Do you know how to foil?
