Solve 3x^2 +11x+6

Question

Factor the expression

(x + 3) (3 x + 2)

Evaluate

3 x^{2} + 11 x + 6

Rewrite the expression

3 x^{2} + (2 + 9) x + 6

Calculate

3 x^{2} + 2 x + 9 x + 6

Rewrite the expression

x \times 3 x + x \times 2 + 3 \times 3 x + 3 \times 2

Factor out x from the expression

x (3 x + 2) + 3 \times 3 x + 3 \times 2

Factor out 3 from the expression

x (3 x + 2) + 3 (3 x + 2)

Solution

(x + 3) (3 x + 2)

Show Solution

x_{1} = - 3, x_{2} = - \frac{2}{3}

Alternative Form

x_{1} = - 3, x_{2} = - 0. \dot{6}

Evaluate

3 x^{2} + 11 x + 6

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

3 x^{2} + 11 x + 6 = 0

Rewrite the expression

3 x^{2} + (2 + 9) x + 6

Calculate

3 x^{2} + 2 x + 9 x + 6

Rewrite the expression

x \times 3 x + x \times 2 + 3 \times 3 x + 3 \times 2

Factor out x from the expression

x (3 x + 2) + 3 \times 3 x + 3 \times 2

Factor out 3 from the expression

x (3 x + 2) + 3 (3 x + 2)

Factor out 3 x + 2 from the expression

(x + 3) (3 x + 2)

(x + 3) (3 x + 2) = 0

When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0

x + 3 = 0 3 x + 2 = 0

Solve the equation for x

More Steps

Evaluate

x + 3 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

x = 0 - 3

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

x = - 3

x = - 3 3 x + 2 = 0

Solve the equation for x

More Steps

Evaluate

3 x + 2 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

3 x = 0 - 2

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

3 x = - 2

Divide both sides

\frac{3 x}{3} = \frac{- 2}{3}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 2}{3}

Use \frac{- a}{b} = \frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b} to rewrite the fraction

x = - \frac{2}{3}

x = - 3 x = - \frac{2}{3}

Solution

x_{1} = - 3, x_{2} = - \frac{2}{3}

Alternative Form

x_{1} = - 3, x_{2} = - 0. \dot{6}
