Chapter 11.4, Problem 37CCR

To determine

To factor the given expression.

Answer to Problem 37CCR

Cannot be factored

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Expression: $3x+41$

Calculation:

The given expression has two terms, $3x$ and $41$ .

On factorizing $3x$ : $3\times x$

On factorizing $41$ : $41\times 1$

Now both the terms does not have a common factor.

So, expression cannot be factored.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the expression $3x+41$ cannot be factored since there is no common factor between $3x$ and $41$ .
