Answer:
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 3 • -4 = -12
Step-2 : Find two factors of -12 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -11 .
-12 + 1 = -11 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -12 and 1
3p2 - 12p + 1p - 4
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
3p • (p-4)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (p-4)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(3p+1) • (p-4)
Which is the desired factorization
(p - 4) • (3p + 1) = 0
Solve : p-4 = 0
Add 4 to both sides of the :
p = 4
Solve : 3p+1 = 0
Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation :
3p = -1
Divide both sides of the equation by 3:
p = -1/3 = -0.333
