Question

6x^2-x-15

Answer 1

Are you trying to factor?

I assume you use the guess method..

(6x ) (x )
(3x ) (2x )

These are possible first terms in your binomials

Possible second terms

are -1 and 15 or 15 and -1

3 and -5 or 5 and 3

You begin by

entering the possible second terms into the possible first terms. You multiply the two binomials until you get the right answer.

(3x + 5)(2x -3)

This gives me 6x^2 + 10x -9x - 15

6x^2 + x - 15 This isn't it.. but it is close. Try another choice... Maybe with the -5 and 3.

Answer 2

ok... thank you
