Question

I need help! what is this equation in factored form and how do you solve it using the X-method (or really any other method?)

y = -3x^2 - x + 2

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

Part 1:

Factored: y = (-3x+2)(x+1)

Part 2:

Not exactly sure what the "x" method is after your explaination, so ill just use the quadratic formula.

Quadratic Formula:

`x = (-b+/-√(b^2-4ac) )/(2a)`

Also:

`x^2=a\\x=b\\2=c`

So if you solve (not showing work):

Your x-ints are:

-1

2/3
