Dont bs just answer the question dont play with me

Explain why you cannot factor the trinomial x2−15x+3
Question 8 options:

There are no factors of -15 that add up to 3.


It can be factored


There are no factors of 3 that add up to -15

Answer 1

Answer: x2 – 10x + 25 = (x – 5)(x – 5)

= (x – 5)2

Answer 2

• There are no factors of 3 that add up to -15

Lets check how?

Factors of 3=1,3

Max value possible=1+3=4

• 4 is far bigger than -15

Minimum value=-1-3=-4

• -4 is also bigger than -15
