Question

Im being timed! HURRYYYYYYYYY
simplify:

Answer 1

• B.
  `p^2+p-11`.

Explanation:

Step 1:

• 
  `((((3+(4*(p^2)))-5p)-3p^2)+4p)+8`

Step 2:

• 
  `((((3 + 22p^2) - 5p) - 3p^2) + 4p) + 8`

Step 3:

• Factoring
  `p^2-p+11`
• The first term is,
  `p^2` its coefficient is 1 .
• The middle term is, -p its coefficient is -1 .
• The last term, "the constant", is +11
• Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 11 = 11
• Step-2 : Find two factors of 11 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -1 .
• -11 + -1 = -12
• -1 + -11 = -12
• 1 + 11 = 12
• 11 + 1 = 12
• Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
• Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Final Solution:

• 
  `p^2 + p - 11`
