Answer:
[tex] \huge \colorbox{red}{ \rm (3x - 7)(x + 1)}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
to understand this
you need to know about:
- factoring
- PEMDAS
tips and formulas:
- quadratic expression:ax²+bx+c
factoring quadratic:
- Find two numbers that multiply to give ac, and add to give b
- rewrite the middle with those numbers
- factor out common terms
- group
let's solve:
a is 3 and b is -7
[tex]\quad ac=3\times -7[/tex]
therefore
[tex]\quad ac=-21[/tex]
now we need to find two numbers that give -21
to do so we need to find the factors of 21
which are
[tex]\quad 1,3,7[/tex]
likewise,
[tex]\quad -1,-3,-7[/tex]
in this case we can take any two numbers from negative and positive factors that give us -21 and -4
3 and -7 are the two numbers that multiply to give -21 (3×-7=-21) and add to give -4. (3+(-7)=-4)
now let's factor:
- [tex] \sf rewrite \: - 4x \: as \: 3x - 7x : \\ \rm {3 x}^{2} + 3x - 7x - 7 [/tex]
- [tex] \sf factor \: out \: 3x : \\ \rm 3x(x + 1) - 7x - 7[/tex]
- [tex] \sf factor \: out \: - 7 : \\ \rm 3x(x + 1) - 7(x + 1)[/tex]
- [tex] \sf \quad group : \\ \quad \rm (3x - 7)(x + 1)[/tex]
[tex]\text{And we are done!}[/tex]
Answer:
3x²-4x-7=0
doing middle term factorization
3x²-7x+3x-7=0
x(3x-7)+1(3x-7)=0
(3x-7)(x+1)=0
