Question

xSquared + 16x + 64 =f(x)

Answer 1

can you show the work

Answer 2

does it... it's not set to zero.

Answer 3

f(x) = (x+8)^2

Answer 4

x^2+16x+64=f(x)

factor by knowing 8+8=16 and 8*8=64

(x+8)^2

x=-8

Answer 5

-8 will be your zero's

Answer 6

otherwise, you just want the factor, that is the simplest form of the equation. what does the question ask for?

Answer 7

it says factor and then solve to find the roots of the function

Answer 8

ya, so the roots are the zero's and you have the factors

Answer 9

what would be the final answer

Answer 10

and the work

Answer 11

factored form is

f(x)=(x+8)^2

roots=-8

Answer 12

the work is my answer above

Answer 13

if you want to show every detail in the work, you have to use the quadratic equation, but this one is pretty easy so it isnt entirely necessary

Answer 14

unless you have just been introduced to the quad eqn, in which case you would use it

Answer 15

just for good measure, so the prof knows you know what you are doing

Answer 16

lol i have no idea what im doing tho :/

Answer 17

then use the quadratic equation and it will give you the roots
