Factor completely 3x^2− x − 4.

( x + 1 ) ( 3 x − 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2− x − 4

Factor − 1 out of − x .

3 x^2 − ( x ) − 4

Rewrite − 1 as 3 plus − 4

3 x^2 + ( 3 − 4 ) x − 4

Apply the distributive property.

3 x^2 + 3 x − 4 x − 4

Group the first two terms and the last two terms.

( 3 x 2 + 3 x ) − 4 x − 4

Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each group.

3 x ( x + 1 ) − 4 ( x + 1 )

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, x + 1 .

( x + 1 ) ( 3 x − 4 )

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

odd numbers are only divisible by 1 and itself.

even numbers are divisible by more than 1 and itself.

for example 6 is even because it is divisible by more than 1 and its self. 1 x 6= 6 ; 2 x 3= 6

and 7 is odd because only 7 x 1 equals seveb
