Q. Factor the quadratic expression completely.6x2−13x+6=
Identify Coefficients: Step Title: Identify the CoefficientsConcise Step Description: Identify the coefficients of the quadratic expression, which are the numbers in front of the variables. In this case, the coefficients are 6, −13, and 6.Step Calculation: Coefficients are 6, −13, 6Step Output: Coefficients: 6, −13, 6
Find Factors: Step Title: Find the FactorsConcise Step Description: Find two numbers that multiply to the product of the first and last coefficients 6×6=36 and add to the middle coefficient −13.Step Calculation: Factors of 36 that add up to −13 are −4 and −9.Step Output: Factors: −4, −9
Rewrite Middle Term: Step Title: Rewrite the Middle TermConcise Step Description: Rewrite the middle term using the factors found in the previous step.Step Calculation: 6x2−4x−9x+6Step Output: Rewritten expression: 6x2−4x−9x+6
Factor by Grouping: Step Title: Factor by GroupingConcise Step Description: Group the terms into two pairs and factor out the common factors from each pair.Step Calculation: (6x2−4x)+(−9x+6) can be factored as 2x(3x−2)−3(3x−2).Step Output: Factored by grouping: 2x(3x−2)−3(3x−2)
Factor Out Common Binomial: Step Title: Factor Out the Common BinomialConcise Step Description: Factor out the common binomial factor from the grouped terms.Step Calculation: The common binomial factor is (3x−2), so the expression can be factored as (3x−2)(2x−3).Step Output: Factored Form: (3x−2)(2x−3)
