Answer:
4 and 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x² - 14x + 8
Now we need to split - 14x
The equation is in the form of x²+(a+b)x+ab = (x-a)(x-b)
So, now we need to find 'a' and 'b' such that (a+b) = -14x and ab = 8 x 3
Wkt 24 = -2 x -12 and -14 = -2 + (-14)
Now, we have
3x² - 2x - 12x + 8
⇒ x(3x - 2) - 4(3x - 2)
⇒ (x - 4)(3x - 2)
∴ The factors of 3x² - 14x + 8 are 4 and 2/3
Hope this helped!
