complete factoring 9s^2-15s

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

3s(3s-5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thyank you but how did you get that 3*3 =9 and 3*5 =15

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

Um, I dont know how to explain, it's like you have to find a number that can be divisible by the other number, does it make sense ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for example like x^2-2x would be x(x-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and yes that makes sense

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

yup since when you expand it it equals back to x^2 - 2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok simple enough I guess

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

Yeah, its realy easy xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay heres another one it says factor out gcf or neg common factor of -56^4-8x^3 would it be 8x^3(-7x-x)?? this one tricks me

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

is it -56x^4 - 8x^3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

It's -8x^3(7x+1)

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

You just got the minus mixed up xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh wow your help me alot I already understand it reading the book is so confusing

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

lols , yeah the textbook can be confusing (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Factor the trinomial 5w^2-25w+30? I think it's (w^2+6)(w^2+5) but not quite sure?
