How do you factor #36x^2 + 35x + 8#? Algebra Polynomials and Factoring Factorization of Quadratic Expressions 1 Answer Lucy Jul 20, 2018 #36x^2+35x+8=(72x+35-sqrt73)(72+35+sqrt73)# Explanation: By using the quadratic formula, #x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)# where the equation is #ax^2+bx+c=0# Therefore, #a=36#, #b=35# and #c=8# #x=(-35+-sqrt(35^2-4times36times8))/(2times36)# #x=(-35+-sqrt73)/72# #x=(-35+sqrt73)/72# or #x=(-35-sqrt73)/72# #36x^2+35x+8# #=(x-((-35+sqrt73)/72))(x-(-35-sqrt73)/72))# #=(x+35/72-sqrt73/72)(x+35/72+sqrt73/72)# #=(72x+35-sqrt73)(72+35+sqrt73)# Answer link Related questions How do you factor trinomials?
