Question

factorise the following :6x^2-17+12​

Answer 1

Is question correct-17 or -17x

Answer 2

Answer:

Simplifying 6x2 + -17x + 12 = 0 Reorder the terms: 12 + -17x + 6x2 = 0 Solving 12 + -17x + 6x2 = 0 Solving for variable 'x'. Factor a trinomial. (4 + -3x)(3 + -2x) = 0

Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(4 + -3x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 4 + -3x = 0 Solving 4 + -3x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-4' to each side of the equation. 4 + -4 + -3x = 0 + -4 Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0 0 + -3x = 0 + -4 -3x = 0 + -4 Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4 -3x = -4 Divide each side by '-3'. x = 1.333333333 Simplifying x = 1.333333333

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(3 + -2x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 3 + -2x = 0 Solving 3 + -2x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + -3 + -2x = 0 + -3 Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0 0 + -2x = 0 + -3 -2x = 0 + -3 Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3 -2x = -3 Divide each side by '-2'. x = 1.5 Simplifying x = 1.5

Solution

x = {1.333333333, 1.5}
