Question

Factor the quadratic expression t^2 + 4t - 7

Answer 1

(t + 7) • (t - 11)

Explanation:

Answer 2

Not factorable.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a trinomial (3 terms). We factor by splitting the middle term 4t into factors of -7 (the last term) which add to 4.

-7 = 1 * -7

4t= 1t+-7t doesn't work

4t=-1t+7t doesn't work

This is not factorable.
