Completely factor the following expression.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[t ^{2}+tv+4v ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

spliiting term method

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i do that @mayankdevnani lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find what is common between these first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok got \[(t+2v)^{2}\] is it right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No the letter t is present in\[t ^{2}+tv+4v ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

grrr i dont get this lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In this equation what number or letter is present in all the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well im guessing t?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So in factorization you have to take the common number or letter which is found in the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

write (t) then open a bracket to make:\[t+v+4v ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You did that incorrectly, @Faris_Waleed . That would only work if the 4v^2 expression also consisted of a t, which it does not. @Vikt0r this question has no solutions on the real number plane, only in the imaginary number plane. Therefore, this question has no solutions, it is unfactorable.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hkim then how my book is wrong *GASP*!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I figured that out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SorryVikt0r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Vikt0r your book is not wrong. It wants you to be able to come to that conclusion, that it is unfactorable, yourself.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

grr then what do i answer lol!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does your book require that you answer in imaginary number form? If so, then you should be able to get an answer. If not, then there are no actual answers to the factoring. If it crossed the horizontal plane of axis at any time, even once, then it is possible to provide an answer, but there is no real solution. You can see so for yourself here http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=t%5E2%2Btv%2B4v%5E2

ok i got it!!! i found an example of \[x ^{2}+11x18] where i need to find two positive factors of 18 which sum is 11 the factos 9 and 2 have a sum of 11 so they are the correct values of p and q so \[x ^{2}+11x+18=(x+9)(x+2) which if u simplify \it is =x ^{2}+11x+18 which is the answer\] @hkim @Faris_Waleed
