Question: I need help with two practice math problems?

I’m trying to get ready for a test in my math class but I totally forgot how to factor! I have two math problems that I found that are like the ones on my review worksheet. Could somebody please help me by showing me the steps on how to do each of them?

Answer: 3 2
3X + 5X – 6X – 10

3 2
(3X +5X -6X-10)

| 3 2
| 3X +5X -6X-10 Expression to be factored
|
| 2 2
| X (3X+5) From terms 1 & 2, factor GCF = X
|
|
| -2(3X+5) From terms 3 & 4, factor GCF = -2
|
|
| 2
| (X -2)(3X+5) Factored Expression

2
(X -2) (3X+5)

| 2
| X -2 Expression to be Factored
|
| Real unequal, irrational roots. Discriminant = 8 .
| Expression cannot be factored into integral factors

***** Problem Summary *****
Problem: Factor
|
| 3 2
| 3X + 5X – 6X – 10
|

Solution

|
| 2
| (X -2) (3X+5)

ANswer: (x^2-2) (3x+5)
|

5AB – 8ABC

| Sort terms in decreasing powers.
– 8ABC + 5AB

– (8ABC-5AB)

|
| Common Factor is AB
| Common Factor is AB Remove from parenthesis.

– AB (8C-5)

***** Problem Summary *****
Problem: Factor

What are the Prime numbers between 0 and 10?

The numbers to consider are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. 

Recall the definition of Prime numbers:

• 0 has only one factor = 0 so 0 is not a prime number.
