Question

x^4-24x-25 in factor complete?

Answer 1

please help

Answer 2

You can take a factor of x-1 out of this.

Answer 3

i don't get it

Answer 4

x+1 I mean, my bad.

Answer 5

(x+1)(x^3-x^2-25)
Thats the normal factorization. You can technically do a better version, but it's a bit more annoying.

thanks

Answer 7

I think is should be:\[x^4-24x-25=(x+1)(x^3-x^2+x-25)\]see here: http://www2.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=x%5E4-24x-25

Answer 8

Indeed... I got sloppy when I was looking at this.
