Answer k =(6-√64)/2=3-4= -1.000
STEP 1 Equation at the end of step 1 (3k2 -18k) -21= 0
STEP 3 Pulling out like terms 3.1 then Pull out like factors 3k2 - 18k - 21 = 3 • (k2 - 6k - 7) Trying to factor by splitting the middle term 3.2 Factoring k2 - 6k - 7 The first term is, k2 its coefficient is 1 . The middle term is, -6k its coefficient is -6 .The last term, "the constant", is -7 Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -7 = -7 Step-2 : Find two factors of -7 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -6 -7 + 1=-6 That's it Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -7 and 1 k2 - 7k + 1k - 7 Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors k •(k-7) Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :1 • (k-7 Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 : (k+1)•(k-7) Which is the desired factorization Equation at the end of step 3 3 • (k + 1) • (k - 7) = 0 STEP 4 Theory - Roots of a product 4.1 A product of several terms equals zero. When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero. We shall now solve each term = 0 separately In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.Equations which are never true:4.2 Solve:3=0 This equation has no solution.A a non-zero constant never equals zero.Solving a Single Variable Equation: 4.3Solve:k+1 = 0 Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation : k = -1
