Question

What makes y = x2 + 3x + 2 different from y = x2 + 2x + 1

Answer 1

the 3x and 2x and then the 2 and 1

Answer 2

one # is a +2 and the other is a +1 then the other difference is that theres no 2 in one problem and theres no 3 in the other problem

Answer 3

One way of looking at this is to factor both equations.

y = x^2 + 3x + 2 = (x + 2) (x + 1)
y = x^2 + 2x + 1 = (x + 1) (x + 1) = (x + 1)^2
