Question

Help me factor this:

Answer 1

\[x-y+2\sqrt{x}-2\sqrt{y}\]

Answer 2

?

Answer 3

\[x-y=(\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{y})(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{y})\]

Answer 4

\[2\sqrt{x}-2\sqrt{y}=2(\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{y})\]

Answer 5

Can you solve it now?

Answer 6

what is the complete factored form

Answer 7

I started it, you end it

Answer 8

okay thanks bud

Answer 9

What answer do you get?

Answer 10

2

Answer 11

How?

Answer 12

cause i plugged in 0

Answer 13

Why?

Answer 14

cause thats what you do when you factor, you plug in 0

Answer 15

\[(\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{y})(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{y})+2(\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{y})\]

Answer 16

exactly and the once you plug in 0 you get the complete factored form

Answer 17

Take
\[(\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{y})\]
as common and finish it.

Answer 18

the complete factored form is 2

Answer 19

No, there are two factors x and y, they can have any value, so you can't get any one definite answer, there are infinite answer's for this question, which depends on the values of x ans y

Answer 20

no actually the factored for is 2, cause when you foil out 2, you get back the original form

Answer 21

Answer 22

exactly thats what i did and the factored form is 2

Answer 23

Did you go through the link?

Answer 24

yes

Answer 25

In mathematics, factorization (also factorisation in British English) or factoring is the decomposition of an object (for example, a number, a polynomial, or a matrix) into a product of other objects, or factors, which when multiplied together give the original

Answer 26

Which standard or grade are you in?

Answer 27

exaclty so 2 is the decomposition of the object, and when it is mulitplied with 56 gives back the original

Answer 28

What is the original form?

Answer 29

x-y+2sqrt(x)-2sqrt(y)

Answer 30

If you multiply 2 with 56 you get 112

Answer 31

no you get x-y+2sqrt(x)-2sqrt(y)

Answer 32

56*2=112

Answer 33

I am not understanding what you're trying to convey, sorry.

Answer 34

okay
