Answer:

Explanation:

Let's solve the equation:

3m² + 22m + 7 = 0

Discriminant:

D = b² - 4·a·c = 22² - 4·3·7 = 400

√ D = √ 400 = 20

m₁,₂ = ( - b ± √ D) / (2·a)

m₁ = ( - 22 + 20) / (2·3) = - 2/6 = - 1 / 3

m₂ = ( - 22 - 20) / (2·3) = - 42/6 = - 7

3m² + 22m + 7 = 3·(m - (-1/3))·((m - (-7)) =

= (3m + 1)·(m + 7)

3m² + 22m + 7 = (3m + 1)·(m + 7)
