any one help me with grouping factors?
where is the question ?!
1. x^3 + 2x^2 + 4x + 8 2. 2x^3 - 6x^2 + 3x - 9
Take the bigger power with each other & The smaller power with each other 1- \[(x^3-2x^2) + (4x+8)\] Then take the common factor \[x^2(x-2) +4(x+2)\] Then group the common factors with each other \[(x^2+4) (x-2)(x+2) =0\] therefore \[x=+or-2\]
its x^3 + 2x^2 not x^3 - 2x^2
it will be the same steps bt instead of +or-2 it will be -2 Only
2x^3 - 6x^2 + 3x - 9 = 2x^2 (x - 3) + 3(x - 3) (x-3) is a common factor 2x^3 - 6x^2 + 3x - 9 = 2x^2 (x - 3) + 3(x - 3) = (x-3)*(2x^2 +3) --> check my work, please
x^3 + 2x^2 + 4x + 8 = x^2(x + 2) + 4( x+2) = (x +2) is a common factor (x + 2) ( x^2 + 4) ---> check my work, please.
Question? @crissy126
none thx for helping
Happy to help.
@Directrix how do you use a diamond problem to factor: x^2 - 2x + 1
