What is the expression in factored form?

4x² + 11x + 6

I'm having trouble with this one because the 11x is obviously bigger than the 6 and there or no GCF's that add up to 11.

Well, do it...

(2x + ___)(2x + ___)

(4x + ___)(x + ___)

Fill in the blanks.  One of those has to work (assuming it CAN be factored).

So it's like sort of subtracting the 2x / 4x from the 11x? I still don't think it's working if it's like that.

Is this the complete equation?

anonymous · Answer

Yes

tkhunny · Answer

There was no subtraction.  It's called the FACTORS of 4.  All you get are 1,4 and 2,2.  Now, you must find some factors of 6 and fill in the blanks.

I'm doing that and it's not working. I tried 1 and 6, I know for a fact that 2,3 and 3,2 are not gonna work because it doesn't add up.
