Question

9x^2 - 35x - 8 = 0 using splliting method solve this equation​

Answer 1

Answer:

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

Step-by-step explanation:

2.1     Factoring  9x2-35x-8  

The first term is,  9x2  its coefficient is  9 .

The middle term is,  -35x  its coefficient is  -35 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -8  

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   9 • -8 = -72  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -72  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -35 .

     -72    +    1    =    -71  

     -36    +    2    =    -34  

     -24    +    3    =    -21  

     -18    +    4    =    -14  

     -12    +    6    =    -6  

     -9    +    8    =    -1  

     -8    +    9    =    1  

     -6    +    12    =    6  

     -4    +    18    =    14  

     -3    +    24    =    21  

     -2    +    36    =    34  

     -1    +    72    =    71  

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
