Explore in-depth perspectives related to Factor the Quadratic for 4X^2+11X-3 in this special report.

Since a = 4 ≠ 1, find all factor pairs:
a x c = 4 x -3 = -12
These must have a sum = 11

Factor Pairs of -12	Sum of Factor Pair
1,-12	1 - 12 = -11
2,-6	2 - 6 = -4
3,-4	3 - 4 = -1
4,-3	4 - 3 = 1
6,-2	6 - 2 = 4
12,-1	12 - 1 = 11

We want {12,-1}
Rewrite 11x as the sum of factor pairs:
12x - 1x
Our equation becomes
x²( + 12x - 1x) - 3 = 0
