Factor 1/3x^2+1/3x-4

$\frac{1}{3} x^{2} + \frac{1}{3} x - 4$

Step 1

Factor $\frac{1}{3}$ out of each term.

$\frac{1}{3} (x^{2} + x - 12)$

Step 2

Factor.

Factor $x^{2} + x - 12$ using the AC method.

Consider the form $x^{2} + b x + c$ . Find a pair of integers whose product is $c$ and whose sum is $b$ . In this case, whose product is $- 12$ and whose sum is $1$ .

$- 3, 4$

Write the factored form using these integers.

$\frac{1}{3} \cdot ((x - 3) (x + 4))$

Remove unnecessary parentheses.

$\frac{1}{3} \cdot (x - 3) (x + 4)$
