How do you factor 2x^2+5x-12

So you find out what two numbers add up to 5 and multiply to make -12
so since -12 is negative we know that the two numbers have to be diffarent signs (- times+=-) 

also we see that the X^2 term is 2x^2 so we can use the 2
so the factored out form is
 (2x+3)(x-4)
because the 2x times -4=-8x
the 3 times the x=3x
add them together and get 3x+(-8x)or 5x which is our middle term
and -4 times 3 =-12 which is our last term

-1048

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a specific term in an arthimatic sequence you use this formula.

an=a1+(n−1)d

an, is the the number of the term youre trying to find.

a1, is the number of the first term in the sequence.

n, is the number of the term.

d, is the difference between terms.

when your sequence is put into this formula you get, -1048 = -3 + (96 - 1) * -11
