Question

Factor completely 3x2 − 11x + 8

A. (x + 4)(3x - 2)
B. (x − 2)(3x − 4)
C. (x + 1)(3x − 8)
D. (x − 1)(3x − 8)

Answer 1

D.(x − 1)(3x − 8)

Explanation:

Answer 2

The Answer is D. (x - 1) (3x - 8)

Explanation:

So, we start with
`3x^2 - 11x +8`.

First step is to break the expression into groups, by doing this, you get:

`\left(3x^2-3x\right)+\left(-8x+8\right)`

Next, factor out the 3x from
`\left(3x^2-3x\right)`. By doing this, you should get:

3x(x - 1)

Then, factor out the 8x from
`\left(-8x+8\right)`. By doing this, you will get:

-8(x - 1)

Last, factor out the common term, x - 1, When you do this, you get:

(x - 1) (3x - 8)

Hope this helps!
