How do you factor #2x^{2}-13x+24#?
2 Answers
Since D < 0 and D is not a perfect square, this f(x) can't be factored.
See below
Explanation:
In this case, the trinomial
Step 1: Multiply "a" to "c" (
Step 2: Now we can factor by using "magic X" which finds 2 numbers that can multiply equal 48 and add up to
Step 3: Divide the numbers by the leading coefficient (
Step 4: If the numbers divide “evenly” then this is the factor. If the numbers canNOT divide evenly, then pull the divisor up to be the leading coefficient of the x term
If you want to find x value, you can use Zero Product Property (set each factor equal to zero)
