Three polynomials are factored below, but some coefficients and constants are missing. All of the missing values of a, b, c, and d are integers. 1. x2 - 6x + 8 = (ax + b)(cx + d)

2.3x3 - 6x2 - 24x = 3x(ax + b)(cx + d)

3. 2x2 - 2x - 24 = (ax + b)(cx + d)
Fill in the table with the missing values of a, b, c, and d.

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

Once you remove the common factor from the terms, you are looking for factors of the remaining constant term that have a sum equal to the coefficient of the linear term. These factors are the constants in the binomial factors.

__

1. 8 = (-4)(-2)   ⇒   x^2 -6x +8 = (x -4)(x -2)

  (a, b, c, d) = (1, -4, 1, -2)

__

2. -8 = (-4)(+2)   ⇒   3x^3 -6x^2 -24x = 3x(x -4)(x +2)

  (a, b, c, d) = (1, -4, 1, 2)

__

3. -12 = (-4)(3)   ⇒   2x^2 -2x -24 = 2(x -4)(x +3) = (x -4)(2x +6)

   (a, b, c, d) = (1, -4, 2, 6)  or  (2, -8, 1, 3)

answer: -8.2562234e+13
