In the following exercises, factors completely:
$6 x^{2} - 11 x - 10$ .

Short Answer

Expert verified

The factors for the expression is, $(2 x - 5) (3 x + 2)$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given Information.

The expression is,

$6 x^{2} - 11 x - 10$ .

Step 2. Factor completely.

Splitting the middle term such that the sum is $(- 11)$ and the product is $(- 60)$ ,

$6 x^{2} - 11 x - 10 = 6 x^{2} - 15 x + 4 x - 10$

$= 3 x (2 x - 5) + 2 (2 x - 5) = (2 x - 5) (3 x + 2)$
