We start with the polynomial \( 3z^{2} + 20z - 7 \).
Step 2: Factor the Polynomial
To factor the polynomial, we look for two binomials that multiply to give the original polynomial. The factorization results in:
\[
(3z - 1)(z + 7)
\]
Step 3: Verify the Factorization
To ensure the factorization is correct, we can expand the factors:
\[
(3z - 1)(z + 7) = 3z^2 + 21z - z - 7 = 3z^2 + 20z - 7
\]
This confirms that the factorization is accurate.
