Solve each equation by factoring.
1. 4x2 – 17x – 15 = 0
There are 2 possible pairs of factors for the 4, 1*4 and 2*2.
If they're both even, then you can't get an odd number for the x term, the 17.
15 = either 1*15 or 3*5
---------------------------
2. 10x2 + 19x + 6 = 0
10 = 1*10 or 2*5
6 = 1*6 or 2*3
Notice the odd # of the x term.
------------
3. Solve 3x2 = 4,800 by using square roots.
Hint: divide by 3
--------------
Use x^2 for x squared.
^ (Shift 6) for exponents.
