15x²+27x+12 full answer for this question
Answers
Answer:
((3•5x2) - 27x) - 12
3.1 Pull out like factors :
15x^2 - 27x - 12 = 3 • (5x2 - 9x - 4)
3.2 Factoring 5x^2 - 9x - 4
The first term is, 5x^2 its coefficient is 5 .
The middle term is, -9x its coefficient is -9 .
The last term, "the constant", is -4
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 5 • -4 = -20
Step-2 : Find two factors of -20 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -9 .
-20 + 1 = -19
-10 + 2 = -8
-5 + 4 = -1
-4 + 5 = 1
-2 + 10 = 8
-1 + 20 = 19
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
(Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored)
Final result :
3 • (5x2 - 9x - 4)
