STEP
3
:
Pulling out like terms
3.1 Pull out like factors :
3x2 - 6x - 3 = 3 • (x2 - 2x - 1)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring x2 - 2x - 1
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -2x its coefficient is -2 .
The last term, "the constant", is -1
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -1 = -1
Step-2 : Find two factors of -1 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -2 .
-1 + 1 = 0
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Equation at the end of step
3
:
3 • (x2 - 2x - 1) = 0
Answer:
3x² + 6x + 3 = 0
here a = 3, b=6 , c= 3
alpha = -b/ a
= -6/3
= -2
beta = c/a
= 3/3
= 1
Therefore roots are -2 and 1
