Enter each factor as a polynomial in descending order x2 + 6x + 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, but isn't this x^2+6x+5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i forgot to make the 2 an exponet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You know how the reality check for exponents?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, okay. It's pretty easy. Assume we have a quadratic expression of the type ax^2+bx+c=0 Okay?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thats simple but im asking each factor as a polynomial in descending order

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To check if the roots are real, b^2 - 4ac> 0 For the roots to be real and equal b^2 - 4ac=0 IF b^2 -4ac<0, the roots are imaginary.

First find the roots with this eqn. Then, you'll get your answer.
