(a) Explanation Given information: The expression, 6 x 2 + 13 x + 6 . Formula used: Steps to calculate the factors of quadratic equation a x 2 + b x + c by trial and error method, Step1: Factor a x 2 as ( a 1 x ) ( a 2 x ) with a 1 positive. Step2: Factor c as c 1 c 2 . Step 3: Check if a x 2 + b x + c = ( a 1 x ± c 1 ) ( a 2 x ± c 2 ) If yes, then ( a 1 x ± c 1 ) ( a 2 x ± c 2 ) are the factors. Step 4: If not, try other factorization of a x 2 and c and repeat all the steps. The distributive law, ( a ± b ) c = a c ± b c Where, a, b and c are any real numbers. Calculation: Consider the expression, 6 x 2 + 13 x + 6 Factor of 6 x 2 are ( 2 x ) ( 3 x ) , ( 3 x ) ( 2 x ) , ( 6 x ) ( x ) and ( x ) ( 6 x ) (b) To determine To calculate: The value of x when the expression 6 x 2 + 13 x + 6 is equal to zero.
