Question

Factor the polynomial.
How do I factor a polynomial? I understand the gist of factoring.
Here's the problem: 6x^2-7x-3

Answer 1

Basic form for quadratic factoring is

( X +/- a)(X +/- b)

For example

X^2 + 7x + 10

Find two numbers that multiply to 10, and also add up to 7

That's 5 and 2, you're a and B

(x + 5)(x + 2)
