Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=2/3,-(5/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
•The first term is, 12x^2 its coefficient is 12 .
•The middle term is, 7x its coefficient is 7 .
•The last term, "the constant", is -10
STEP-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 12 • -10 = -120
STEP-2 : Find two factors of -120 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 7 .
-120 + 1 = -119
-60 + 2 = -58
-40 + 3 = -37
-30 + 4 = -26
-24 + 5 = -19
-20 + 6 = -14
-15 + 8 = -7
-12 + 10 = -2
-10 + 12 = 2
-8 + 15 = 7 That's it
STEP-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -8 and 15
12x^2 - 8x + 15x - 10
STEP-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
4x • (3x-2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
5 • (3x-2)
4x(3x-2) + 5(3x-2)=0
STEP-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(4x+5) • (3x-2) =0
Which is the desired factorization
• A product of several terms equals zero.
• When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.
• We shall now solve each term = 0 separately
STEP-6:solve 4x+5
4x+5=0
4x=-5
x=-(5/4)
STEP-7:Solve 3x-2
3x-2=0
3x=2
x=2/3
STEP-8:
