How do you factor 12v^2-25v-7?
3 answers
what does the variables mean maybe i can help you if i knew what the number was that the variable replaces
well, it's gonna be
(3v-)(4v+) or (6v-)(2v+) or something like that
Since 25 is relatively large, I'd try the 6/2 combination, except that 7 has no factors, so
(4v+1)(3v-7)
seems to work, since -25 = -28+3
