1. Problem Description
We need to factor the quadratic expression .
2. Solution Steps
We are looking for two binomials of the form such that
, , and .
We can try different combinations of factors for 6 and -
3. Possible factor pairs for 6 are (1, 6) and (2, 3).
Possible factor pairs for -3 are (1, -3) and (-1, 3).
Let's try and , so we have .
We need and .
If we try and , we get . This works!
So the factorization is .
Let's check this:
.
This is the correct expression.
