Question

ii) Find the factors of following Polynomial?
(A) 2(x2 - 6x)- 8(x2 - 6x + 3) - 40​

Answer 1

Answer:

2⋅(x

3 −16x 2+60x−32)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is,  x2  its coefficient is  1 .

The middle term is,  -6x  its coefficient is  -6 .

The last term, "the constant", is  +3

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • 3 = 3

Step-2 : Find two factors of  3  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -6 .

     -3    +    -1    =    -4

     -1    +    -3    =    -4

     1    +    3    =    4

     3    +    1    =    4

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
