FACTORIZATION C5

Factorize 3x2 - 4x – 7

Solution

= 3x2 - 4x – 7. We split the middle term (9x) to be (-7x + 3x).

= 3x2 -7x + 3x – 7

= (3x2 – 7x) + (3x – 7)    grouping the factors

= x(3x – 7) + 1(3x – 7)    

= (x + 1) (3x - 7)


Hence 3x2 - 4x – 7= (x + 1) (3x - 7) answer.


TRY THIS………………


8x2 - 10x – 3
