Answers
Answer:
x=5/4,x=(-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
4x²+3x-10
=4x²+(8-5)x-10
=4x²+8x-5x-10
=4x(x+2)-5(x+2)
=(4x-5)(x+2)
4x-5=0
=>4x=5
=> x=5/4
x+2=0
=>x=(-2)

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 4x2-3x-10
The first term is, 4x2 its coefficient is 4 .
The middle term is, -3x its coefficient is -3 .
The last term, "the constant", is -10
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 4 • -10 = -40
Step-2 : Find two factors of -40 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -3 .
-40 + 1 = -39
-20 + 2 = -18
-10 + 4 = -6
-8 + 5 = -3 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -8 and 5
4x2 - 8x + 5x - 10
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
4x • (x-2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
5 • (x-2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(4x+5) • (x-2)
Which is the desired factorization
