3x^2 -5x -2=0 help factor left side please!!
y’all i didn’t sleep at all last night and i cannot remember how to factor the first half of the equation help me out asap please guys

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by separating (not factoring) -5x.  For example, we might get {-2x, - 3x} (note how these combine to produce -5x).  Might have to try several combinations to find the right one.

Then 3x^2 -5x -2=0 could possibly be x(3x - 2) - (3x - 2), or

                                                                x(3x - 2) - 1(3x - 2).

Notice how the factor (3x - 2) shows up twice.  If we factor out (3x - 2) we are left with (x - 1).  We check these results by multiplying (3x - 2) and (x - 1) together, so we can be sure that the result is the original 3x^2 -5x -2=0.

(3x - 2)(x - 1) = 3x^2 - 3x - 2x + 1 results in 3x^2 - 5x + 2.  Unfortunately, the sign of that 2 is incorrect; we'd hoped for -2, not +2.

To check this further, I used synthetic division with 1 as divisor; the remainder is -4, which tells us that (x - 1) is not a factor of 3x^2 -5x -2=0.

Please double check to ensure that you have copied this problem down correctly.

34 cm squared

Step-by-step explanation:

You would need to fill in the cut out part of the shape. Find the area of the whole shape minus the area of the cut out shape.

Area of the bigger shape :6*9 =54cm squared

Area of the cut out shape:4*4=20cm squared
