Re: Equations with parenthesis?
3y^2 +7y + 4
(3y a)(y b)
7 is a prime number so, should I divide it by 7?
Then
3y^2 +7y + 4
(3y + 7)(y b) and divide 4 by 2?
(3y + 7)(y + 4) ?

Re: Equations with parenthesis?
Nope, remember foil, you need the factors of 4, what are they?

No,no,no. Prove that your factorization is correct!

Re: Equations with parenthesis?
(3y + 7)(y + 2)
*F* 3y^2
*o* 6y
*I* 7y
*L* 14
3y^2 + 6y + 7y + 14
= 3y^2 + 13y + 14
Yeah... my factorization is wrong...

Remember the tutor. No mercy. Continue, is not 4 and 1 factors of 4?

Re: Equations with parenthesis?
Okay...
(3y + 7)(y + 4)
*F* 3y^2
*o* 12y
*I* 7y
*L* 28
3y^2 + 12y + 7y + 28
= 3y^2 + 19y + 28

Re: Equations with parenthesis?
Oops... that should be a 1... I think.... maybe?
(3y + 1)(y + 4)
*F* 3y^2
*O* 12y
*I* 1y
*L* 4
3y^2 + 12y + 1y + 4
= 3y^2 + 13y + 4
