Algebra.Com's Answer #407966 by Shana-D77(132)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! It's best to rearrange this to 30z^2 + 91z - 30 (Az^2 + Bz + C)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First, multiply A*C (30*-30 = 900) \n" ); document.write( "Ask \"What two numbers multiply to get -900 that add to get B (91)?\" \n" ); document.write( "Answer: 100*-9 (trial and error) \n" ); document.write( "Rewrite B using the pair you just found: \n" ); document.write( "30z^2 + 91z - 30 \n" ); document.write( "30z^2 + 100z - 9z - 30 \n" ); document.write( "Parenthesize: \n" ); document.write( "(30z^2 + 100z) - (9z - 30) \n" ); document.write( "Factor each parenthesis: \n" ); document.write( "10z(3z + 10) - 3(3z + 10) <<- the parenthesis will always be the same. The first one is always right. \n" ); document.write( "Rewrite: One () is the stuff on the inside once, the other () is the stuff on the outside: \n" ); document.write( "(3z + 10)(10z - 3) \n" ); document.write( " |
