Answer 5

ok thanks
Can yall help with another one?

Answer 6

....

Which of these sound most familiar to you?

@chasesbabygirl

Answer 11

3x2 + 13x + 4 has three coefficients, 3, 13 and 4.

Just a sec: are you sure you could factor 3x2 + 13x + 4 on your own?

Answer 12

idk im not good at this

Answer 13

no

Answer 14

Then why do you want to move on to another problem right now?

Answer 15

i dont have an answer

Answer 16

Min = (−2.166667, −10.083333) that's what I came up with

Answer 17

If you wish to use factoring to factor 3x2 + 13x + 4, multiply the first and last coefficients together. You'll get (3)(4)=12.

Identify the integer factors of 12: 1, 2, ... can you finishing this?

Answer 18

chasesbabygirl: the goal of this problem is factoring. How are min and max relevant here? Hunter68 needs to learn how to factor.

Answer 19

Answer 20

1, 2, 3, 6 and what other factors? Identify ALL of them.

Answer 21

Answer 23

12

Answer 24

okay but I aint that good at math at least I tried I aint trying to be mean about it

Answer 25

That's right.
Next, Hunter, do you know either long division or synthetic division?

Answer 26

@chasesbabygirl: Thanks for extending sympathy, but please stay on the sidelines unless you're able to offer suggestions to Hunter68 for the solution of his math problem. Thanks.

Answer 27

umm your welcome

Answer 28

@hunter68? still want to discuss this factoring?

Answer 29

@hunter68: Please let your helpers know when you're planning to get off OpenStudy.

Note that you were given four answer options:

(3x + 1)(x + 4)
(3x + 4)(x + 1)
(3x − 4)(x + 1)
(3x − 1)(x + 4)

checking these out (e. g., by multiplication) would tell you quickly which pair of factors produces 3x2 + 13x + 4 when you multiply them together.
