Like I said you can't factor this. The GCD is 1 so you can't factor it. The GCD must be 2 or higher.
Answer:
(x - 1)(3x + 11)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3x² + 8x - 11
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.
product = 3 × - 11 = - 33 and sum = + 8
The factors are - 3 and + 11
Use these factors to split the x- term
3x² - 3x + 11x - 11 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= 3x(x - 1) + 11(x - 1) ← factor out (x - 1) from each term
= (x - 1)(3x + 11) ← in factored form
