Use this strategy to factor the quadratic 3x2 8x + 4.
Put the steps below in order:
FIRST STEP
= 3x2 – 8x+4
I know that 3 times 4 is 12
= 3x2 - 6x – 2x + 4
= 3x(x - 2)-2(x - 2)
= I know that -6 plus -2 is -8 AND-6 times -2 is 12
= (x - 2)(3x - 2)
LAST STEP
The list is currently not in the correct order.

The boiling point of water at an elevation of 0 feet is 212 degrees fahrenheit (°f). for every 1,000 feet of increase in elevation, the boiling point of water decreases by about 2°f. which of the following represents this relationship if b is the boiling point of water at an elevation of e thousand feet? a) e = 2b - 212 b) b = 2e - 212 c) e = -2b + 212 d) b = -2e + 212
