Q. Factor completely.\newline3x2+8x35 3 x^{2}+8 x-35 \newlineAnswer:
  1. Identify the polynomial: Identify the polynomial to be factored.\newlineWe are given the quadratic polynomial 3x2+8x353x^2 + 8x - 35, which is in the standard form ax2+bx+cax^2 + bx + c, where a=3a = 3, b=8b = 8, and c=35c = -35.
  2. Look for two numbers: Look for two numbers that multiply to acac (aa times cc) and add up to bb. We need to find two numbers that multiply to (3)(35)=105(3)(-35) = -105 and add up to 88.
  3. Find the two numbers: Find the two numbers.\newlineAfter trying different combinations, we find that 1515 and 7-7 multiply to 105-105 and add up to 88.\newline15×7=10515 \times -7 = -105\newline15+(7)=815 + (-7) = 8
  4. Rewrite the middle term: Rewrite the middle term using the two numbers found in Step 33.\newlineWe can express 8x8x as 15x7x15x - 7x, which are the two numbers we found that add up to 88.\newline3x2+8x35=3x2+15x7x353x^2 + 8x - 35 = 3x^2 + 15x - 7x - 35
  5. Factor by grouping: Factor by grouping.\newlineGroup the terms into two pairs and factor out the common factor from each pair.\newline(3x2+15x)+(7x35)(3x^2 + 15x) + (-7x - 35)\newlineFactor out 3x3x from the first pair and 7-7 from the second pair.\newline3x(x+5)7(x+5)3x(x + 5) - 7(x + 5)
  6. Factor out common binomial: Factor out the common binomial factor.\newlineThe common binomial factor is (x+5)(x + 5).\newlineFactor (x+5)(x + 5) out of both terms.\newline(3x7)(x+5)(3x - 7)(x + 5)
