Question

Select the correct answer. what is the completely factored form of this expression? 3x2 − 17x − 28 a. (3x 4)(x 7) b. (3x 4)(x − 7) c. 3x2 − 17x − 28 d. (3x2 4)(x − 7)

Answer 1

A. (3x + 4)(x-7)

Explanation:

3x times x = 3x^2

3x times -7 = -21x

4 times x = 4x

4 times -7 = -28

-21x + 4x = -17x

3x^2 - 17x - 28
