Question

Factor completely 3x2 − x − 4.

(3x − 1)(x + 4)

(3x + 4)(x − 1)

(3x − 2)(x + 2)

(3x − 4)(x + 1)

Answer 1

If you would like to factor completely 3 * x^2 - x - 4, you can do this using the following steps:

3 * x^2 - x - 4 = (3 * x - 4) * (x + 1) = (3x - 4) * (x + 1)

The correct result would be (3x - 4) * (x + 1).
