Factoring polynomials of the Form ax2 + bx + c ???
how do I solve these problems?
15.) 6t cubed - 11t + 4,
17.) 8x cubed + 33x + 4,
19.) 3b cubed - 16b + 16,
21.) 2z cubed - 27z - 14,
23.) 3p cubed + 22p - 16,
25.) 6x cubed - 17x + 12,

This question is from textbook Beginning Algebra

I think in your problem, every time you wrote "cubed", you mean "squared".

This means that it should be:
15. , which does NOT factor (maybe you copied it wrong!).
17. , which is (8x+1)(x+4).
19. , which is (3b-4)(b-4).
etc.

Perhaps you should see my explanation about this in my book which is available free on my website. Click on my tutor name "rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com, then look for "Basic Algebra", then "Samples from Basic Algebra: One Step at a Time", then "Chapter 2", and the name of the section is "Advanced Trinomial Factoring." This section and and the other sections on factoring in this chapter will help you.
