Question

How do you factor `3h ^ { 2} - 30h - 33`?

Answer 1

Answer: `3(h-11)(h+1)`

Explanation:

Factor `3h^2-30h-33`

First we can see that each term has a common factor of `3` which we can factor out:
`=3(h^2-10h-11)`

Now, we can more easily factor (two numbers multiplied together is -11 and added together is -10):
`=3(h-11)(h+1)`
