Question

What is the factorization of the trinomial below? 4x2 + 20x - 24

Answer 1

Hey there!


`4x^(2) +20x -24`
We can first factor out the 4 (bring it outside the parenthesis)


`4( x^(2) +5x - 6)`
Now have a closer look between the parenthesis, because this expression can be factored as well. We're looking for two different numbers with a product of -6 and a sum of 5. Hence, we find the numbers 6 and -1


`4(x-1)(x+6)`
