Factorize 3x^2-147

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x^2 -3*49 = what is the common term what you can factorizing out ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please collaborate and i will help you

OpenStudy (kkshahzada):

Should I take common?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first what is common in these two terms ?

OpenStudy (kkshahzada):

Will u reply to my other questions ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not is this the end of this bc you can factorizing again

OpenStudy (kkshahzada):

How?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so write me here please what will get after factoriz the 3 ?

OpenStudy (kkshahzada):

X^2-49

OpenStudy (kkshahzada):

3(X^2-49)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the 3 why not write there ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes ok

OpenStudy (kkshahzada):

I have some other questions too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so than now what you have inside parentheses you can factoriz again

OpenStudy (kkshahzada):

How?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bc there are a^2 -b^2 = ? do you know this formula ?

OpenStudy (kkshahzada):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

write me please what is

OpenStudy (kkshahzada):

Asquare-bsquare A square +bs square -2(a)(b)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no this is (a-b)^2 what you wrote above

OpenStudy (kkshahzada):

Oh

OpenStudy (kkshahzada):

Then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do you know it ?

OpenStudy (kkshahzada):

Wait

OpenStudy (kkshahzada):

Yes A^2-b^2

OpenStudy (kkshahzada):

(A+b)(a-b)???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly correct - so can use it in this case (x^2 -49) = ?

OpenStudy (kkshahzada):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

write it here please

OpenStudy (kkshahzada):

3(x+49)(x-49)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

49 why not factoriz ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is a square too

OpenStudy (kkshahzada):

7^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so whta number squared equal 49 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so how will be than ?

OpenStudy (kkshahzada):

It will replace 49

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2 -49 = x^2 -7^2 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same like above with a^2 -b^2 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are right just write in place of 49 the 7

OpenStudy (kkshahzada):

Yes Thank u so much

OpenStudy (kkshahzada):

Will u always be there for me
