agreene · Answer

did you type this correctly?
This isn't factorable by normal methods.

anonymous · Answer

Factor completely x^2– 7x + 18. that's what the problem says.

agreene · Answer

$$\frac14 (7 i+\sqrt{23}-2 i x) (-7 i+\sqrt{23}+2 i x)$$

So says my CAS

Must've been the solution she was looking for

agreene · Answer

I guess... If I had that question, I'd just say it is... that CAS result looks rather annoying to deal with in any type of analysis.

hero · Answer

That's just your CAS version of the answer

Hero, I dont know why you linked to that--since it isnt a factorization of the question.
