x=1/3,x=3x=13,x=3

Explanation:

"factorise the quadratic by 'splitting' the x-term"factorise the quadratic by 'splitting' the x-term

rArr3x^2-10x+3=03x210x+3=0

rArr3x^2-9x-x+3=03x29xx+3=0

rArr3x(x-3)-1(x-3)=03x(x3)1(x3)=0

rArr(x-3)(3x-1)=0(x3)(3x1)=0

rArrx=3,x=1/3" are the zeros"x=3,x=13 are the zeros

Zeros are x=3 and x=1/3x=3andx=13

Explanation:

3x^2-10x+3=0 or 3x^2-9x-x+3=0 or 3x(x-3)-1(x-3)=0 3x210x+3=0or3x29xx+3=0or3x(x3)1(x3)=0 or

(x-3)(3x-1)= 0 :. either

x-3=0 :. x=3 or 3x-1=0 :. 3x=1 :. x=1/3

Zeros are x=3 and x=1/3 [Ans]
