what is (4x^2y^2-8xyz+16z^2) ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

define "what is"? Simplify? type of polynomial?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

miyo?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you clarify what "what is" means in your question?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

you can factor out a 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh how about 2 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

paulzord i mean the answer :)

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

well yes, but you want to factor the greatest number possible and 4 is greater than 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(4x^2y^2-8xyz+16z^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is there meant to be anything between 4x² and 2y² ? if you're in windows, hold down the right alt key, then press 0178 consecutively on the numpad to get ² or 0179 for ³

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

hey thanks, it works :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh thanks dumbcow for your help ... :D yeah 4 is greater than 2 ;))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah paulzord (4x^2x^2-8xyz+16^2) ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it could be (4x^4 - 8xyz + 256) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how you get it ?? my answer is 4xy(1xy+2z+4z) ?? i dont if it is correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just ignore what i said, and listen to 'dumb'cow.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why ?? i ignore it ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no .... i cant ignore it .. because your answer maybe correct :))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it isn't any simpler though... so it wont be correct.or it's the same answer you have, jsut more complex

OpenStudy (anonymous):
