I just can't factor anything...
I have this equation:
y = -3x^2 - 2x + 5
How do I go about factoring this like:
y = (x + constant)(x + constant)
I tried doing this:
0 = -3x^2 - 2x + 5
(0)-1/3 = (-3x^2 - 2x + 5)-1/3
0 = x^2 + 2/3 - 5/3
I can't factor this:
x^2 + 2/3 - 5/3
(Trying to find the x-intercepts of this equation.)
Thank you.
