Answer:
(x + 1)(3x - 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3x² - 7x - 10
Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.
product = 3 × - 10 = - 30 and sum = - 7
The factors are + 3 and - 10
Use these factors to split the x- term
3x² + 3x - 10x - 10 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
3x(x + 1) - 10(x + 1) ← factor out (x + 1) from each term
(x + 1)(3x - 10), thus
y = (x + 1)(3x - 10) ← in factored form
