@Zache

OpenStudy (0487308):

\[x^2-4x-32\]

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

what are the factors of 32 ? 8 * 4 sum of -8 + 4 = -4 so (x-8) (x+4)

OpenStudy (0487308):

Okay, thanks. I've got another right here: \[6x^2 - 6x - 12\]

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

6( x^2 - x - 2)

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

Can you factor it ?

OpenStudy (0487308):

Yeah. It is 6(x-2)(x+1)

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

if you can't factor , use the quadratic formula. -b + or - sqrt(b^2 - 4ac) / 2a ax^2 + bx + c @0487308 , correct.

OpenStudy (0487308):

I know. Thanks!
