Algebra.Com's Answer #73693 by scott8148(6628)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! there is a 2s in each term that can be factored out ... (2s)(2+3t-7t^2)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to factor the quadratic, look for combinations of the factors of 2 and -7 that can give you 3\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "+-1 and +-2 for 2 ... +-1 and +-7 for 7 ... no way to get 3; so the quadratic is not factorable \n" ); document.write( " |
