Need to factor t^2+4z^2
do you know complexx numbers ?!
No I don't
If this what you mean \[t^2+4z^2\] it can't be factorized
Please let me know if this is correct: (t+2z)(t+2z) factor completed
in other words it would be written prime... correct?
Sorry , but I didn't understaand what you really want to do ! :)
ok I have another one for you. I am asked to factor this polynomial: y^3+y^2-4y-4
okk ! this ! it can be factorized :) ! you may know that\[(-1)^3+(-1)^2-4(-1)-4=0\] so , this "polynomial" can be factorized by (y--1)=(y+1)
what would be considered the common factor group?
kk you didn't undersand what I said ! It's normal ! we will try to do this in other way ! kk ?!
This is what I has before: y^3+y^2-4y-4 y(y^2+y) -4(y+1) (y^2+y)-(y-4) (y^2+y)(y-4)(4+-1)
ok. trust me it has been a reeeallllyyy long time since I have done algebra and my brain is hurting over this lol
I have to be able to show my steps as well as explain it. At this point I am just trying to figure out how to do this :)
no no ! good ! you were in the right way ! \[y^3+y^2=y^2(y+1)\] -4y-4=-4(y+1)
you're reallyy a smart person !
I seriously doubt that right now lol
no no ! you're doing good trust me !
How would I go about explaining how I arrived at this conclusion?
so would my common factor be the (y+1)?
yeaaaaah !
now give me the final answer !
(y+1)(y+1)(y+-4)
I have to utilize grouping because of the four terms right
give me another answer :'( !
\[y^3+y^2-4y+4=y^2(y+1)-4(y+1)\] now (y+1) is the common factor ! kk
go on what are waiting for ?! :) :)
differences in squares would be: (y+1)(y^2+4)?
(y+1)(y+2)(y+-2)?
completely factored at (y+1)(y^2+2)(y+-2)
now you're good ! But you wrote (y^2+4) correct this the final ansswer is correct !
so is (y+1)(y^2+2)(y^-2) correct?
yeaaaah that's correct !
thank you !!!! :)
You're welcome !anytime !
o wait shouldn't it be like this: (y+1)(y+2)(y-2)
final factorization that is?
(y+1)(y+2)(y+-2) (Ugh)
okk I didn't see well ! it should be ! the right answer is (y+1)(y+2)(y-2) which is the same as (y+1)(y+2)(y+-2)
oh ok lol
thank you :D
yw ! :D !
and good luck !
thank you because boy am I going to need it
:) yeaaah we all need luck !
