Question

25x^3+20x^2+4x

Answer 1

I need to factor this

Answer 2

Start by factoring the \(x\) out.\[x(25x^2 + 20x + 4)\]Now do you know how to factor quadratic expressions? :-)

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

can you help me?

Answer 5

It's pretty... hard... to teach.

Answer 6

I know I do the factors of 4, 1 and 4, 2 and 2, but they dont add to be 20

Answer 7

No, first you multiply the coefficients of \(x^2\) and \(x^0\). Here they're \(25\) and \(4\)...

Answer 8

so 100

Answer 9

Yes. Now two numbers that add to \(20\) and their product is \(100\)?

Answer 10

10 and 10

Answer 11

so whats the next step

Answer 12

25x^2+20x+4
this one can be factored:
you need 2 numbers whose product is +4 and when
these are combined with the factors of 25 add up to 20
5 * 2 = 10
2 * 5 = 10
10 + 10 = 20
maybe, it can be represented as :
