Question

Algebra 2 help please

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

The volume in cubic feet of a box can be expressed as V(x) = x^3 - 6x^2 + 8x, or as the product of three linear factors with integer coefficients. The width of the box is 2 – x.Factor the polynomial to find linear expressions for the height and the width. Show steps please

Answer 3

@jim_thompson5910

Answer 4

x^3 - 6x^2 + 8x

x(x^2-6x+8)

x(2-x)( ??? )

Answer 5

what goes in place of the ( ??? )

Answer 6

@jim_thompson5910 -6x + 8?

Answer 7

not quite

Answer 8

what two numbers multiply to 8 and add to -6

Answer 9

what??? what two numbers multiply to 8 and add to -6???? thats is confusing i dont understand the way you worded it

Answer 10

list the factors of 8

Answer 11

4 and 2

Answer 12

so the second part of step 3 is??

Answer 13

x(2-x)(???)

Answer 14

(8-6)???

Answer 15

so we get (2-x)(4-x)

which means that the missing part is (4-x)

Answer 16

the complete factorization is x(2-x)(4-x)

Answer 17

umm how do i factor these

Answer 18

it's already factored

Answer 19

x^3 - 6x^2 + 8x

factors to

x(2-x)(4-x)

Answer 20

yea im not understanding i dont even see how we got x(2-x)(4-x)

Answer 21

x^3 - 6x^2 + 8x

x(x^2-6x+8)

we then factor x^2-6x+8 into (2-x)(4-x) and this means

x^3 - 6x^2 + 8x factors to x(2-x)(4-x)

Answer 22

yep nope im still confussed

Answer 23

i guess ill come back to this
