splitting the middle term X square + 3x-12
Answers
Factoring x2-3x-12
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -3x its coefficient is -3 .
The last term, "the constant", is -12
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -12 = -12
Step-2 : Find two factors of -12 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -3 .
-12 + 1 = -11
-6 + 2 = -4
-4 + 3 = -1
-3 + 4 = 1
-2 + 6 = 4
-1 + 12 = 11
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Answer:
no a zeros of polynomial
Step-by-step explanation:
find find the factor of 12
which is equal to 3
1*12 =11
6*2= 4
4*3=1
3*4=1
2*6=4
No two such factor can found !!
It is not a zeros of the polynomial
