Question

Consider the following quadratic equation:3x2 = - 7x - 4Step 1 of 2: Using the standard form ax? + bx + c = 0 of the given quadratic equation, factor the left hand side of the equation into two linearfactors.Answer 2 PointsKeypadKeyboard ShortcutsIIN

Answer 1

Solution

$3x^2=-7x-4$

Standard form

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

Now, rewrite the given equation

$3x^2+7x+4=0$

factorise

$(x+1)(x+\frac{4}{3})=0$

The final answer

$(x+1)(x+\frac{4}{3})=0$
