carmelle:

Factor completely: 2x^3 + 10x^2 + 14x + 70. (2x2 + 14)(x + 5) (x2 + 7)(2x + 10) 2(x3 + 5x2 + 7x + 35) 2[(x2 + 7)(x + 5)]

Isolation:

First factor the 2 out, what do you get

carmelle:

uh, idk :(

Isolation:

\[\frac{ 2x^3 }{ x } + \frac{ 10x^2 }{ 2 } + \frac{ 14x }{ 2 } + \frac{ 70 }{ 2 }\]

carmelle:

ohh

Isolation:

Oops, supposed to be 2 in teh first denominator

Isolation:

So what is it

carmelle:

x^3 + 5x^2 + 7x + 35 I think

Isolation:

So we have \[2(x^3+5x^2+7x+35)\] Now let's play a guessing game xd, we know that it must be \[(x^2 + _)(x+ _ )\] the parenthesis are a bit weird, but- So, we have x^2 and x, which one do you think should have 5 ,which one do you think should have 7 i suggest trying both of them

carmelle:

\[(x^2 + 5x^2)(7x +35)\] is that right.. or no??

Isolation:

Can I ask where the hell you got that from?..... lol....

carmelle:

idk

carmelle:

factoring is hard for me

Isolation:

We have (x^2 + __)(x+__) The two _s must multiply to 35

carmelle:

oh

carmelle:

7 and 5

Isolation:

So try both of them, 5 and 7, and see which goes where, which multiplies to x^3 +5x^2 + 7x+35

carmelle:

huh?

Isolation:

FIrst try (x^2 +5)(x+7) then try (x^2 +7)(x+5) use FOIL And see which one multiplies to x^3 + 5x^2 + 7x+35

Isolation:

or do you want me to show you....?

carmelle:

yes please o-o

Isolation:

\[(x^2 + 5)(x+7) = x^3 + 7x^2 +5x+35\] evidently, this does not equal \[ x^3 + 5x^2 + 7x+35\]

Isolation:

So, it's of course the second one \[(x^2 + 7)(x+5) = x^3 + 5x^2 +7x+35\]

carmelle:

ok, so its B?

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Isolation \[(x^2 + 5)(x+7) = x^3 + 7x^2 +5x+35\] evidently, this does not equal \[ x^3 + 5x^2 + 7x+35\] \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) add the 2 at the front -- you missed that my guy

Isolation:

oh right that

Isolation:

*girl xd

Florisalreadytaken:

snowflake that you? -- youre quite obv

carmelle:

thanks :D

carmelle:

snow on an alt acc.. 👀

Florisalreadytaken:

"xd..." "lol..."-- i only know 1 weirdo who uses them

Florisalreadytaken:

; )

darkknight:

Lol,. there is 7 billion people in the world, not every genius has to be snowflake. congrats isolation on the question :)

Florisalreadytaken:

oh and btw, @carmelle , the answer is the last one!

Florisalreadytaken:

not the 2nd one

carmelle:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Florisalreadytaken oh and btw, @carmelle , the answer is the last one! \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) oh :/

Florisalreadytaken:

\[ 2 [\color{orange}{ (x^2 + 7)} \color{chocolate}{(x + 5)}]\] isnt that what isolation just did above?

carmelle:

yeah

Florisalreadytaken:

so yeah, D will be your answer 👍

carmelle:

thx

Florisalreadytaken:

no prb mate
