Factor completely 12 x2 8x 33 13 12x2 17x 6 14 x2 100 3
Factor completely.
12) x2 + 8x - 33
13) 12x2 + 17x + 6
14) x2 - 100 3
15) x2 - 3x - 18
Solution
12) x2 + 8x - 33
33 = 11*3
So, x^2 + 11x - 3x -33
x(x +11) -3(x +11)
(x -3)(x +11)
13) 12x2 + 17x + 6
---> 12* 6 = 72 ( 9*8)
12x^2 + 9x +8x +6
3x( 4x +3) +2(4x +3)
(3x +2)( 4x +3)
14) x2 - 100^3
x^2 - (100^3/2)^2
use formula : a^2 -b^2 = (a +b)(a -b)
So, x^2 - (100^3/2)^2 = (x + 100^3/2)( x - 100^3/2)
( x + 10^3)( x - 10^3)
(x +1000)(x -1000)
15) x2 - 3x - 18
----> 18 = 6*3
So, x^2 -6x + 3x -18
x(x -6) +3( x -6)
( x +3) ( x - 6)
