Could someone clarrify this for me Factor completely 3x^2 + 2x − 1. (3x + 1)(x − 1) (3x + 1)(x + 1) (3x − 1)(x + 1) (3x − 1)(x − 1)

(3x-1) (x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2 + 2x − 1

3x^2 factors into 3x and x

-1 factors into -1 and 1

We want a postive 2x

(3x-1) (x+1)

(3x-1)(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x² + 2x − 1

when factorizing , first look at the constant number( in this case it is 1 prime number), then find the GCF if found.

(3x        )(x      )     first step : 3x*x=3x^2

(3x-      ) (x+   )      the sign for the constant is minus so the factoring has to be minus and plus on each side

(3x-1)(x+1)   look at the 2x it has positive sign, means the sign is plus:

3x-1

x+1

                        regular standard multiplication

3x(x)-1(x)+1(3x)-1

3x²+2x-1

part a: triangles gcb and epb

part b. sides cg and rp are parallel by definition of parallelogram.

angles cgb and e are congruent by being alternate interior angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal. angles gbc and ebp are congruent because they are vertical angles. by aa similarity, the triangles are similar.

part c. since the triangles are similar, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal.

calculation of be:

gb/be = cb/bp

(400 ft)/be = 300/200

(400 ft)/be = 3/2

3be = 2 * 400 ft

3be = 800 ft

be = 800/3 ft

calculation of pe:

gc/pe = cb/bp

(350 ft)/pe = 300/200

(350 ft)/pe = 3/2

3pe = 2 * 350 ft

3pe = 700 ft

pe = 700/3 ft

you should go to the second answerthey explain it very well, give me a like
