Question 313709: My question is to factor completely the following equation:
6x^2-7x-2
I have come up with (6x-2)(x+1), but that doesn't work and then I thought it might be (-3x+2)(-2x+1), but that doesn't work either.
Is it possible that the equation cannot be factor? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 6x^2-7x-2

Use the quadratic formula:
---
x = [7 +- sqrt(49-4*6*-2)]/12
---
x = [7 +- sqrt(97)]/12
------
Factor Form:
(x- [7 + sqrt(97)]/12)(x-[7 - sqrt(97)]/12]
