Can someone help me create a problem that has a binomial which IS a factor of the polynomial being divided?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

If 2(3)=6 what is 6/3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Is 3 a factor of 6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So perhaps we could use that idea and apply it to binomials so we end up with a polynomial that has a binomial factor.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Make up a binomial and post it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 2x + 10

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Make up one which is not factorable.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

See why you can't get help. I have been trying to help you for more than 2 hours and you have disappeared yet again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, I keep forgetting to check back into Openstudy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A non factorable binomial could be \[v^{2} + 16\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Make up a second binomial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x - 1)^{2}\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

That is a binomial squared. What is the matter with something simple like x+2 or something?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, x + 2

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Multiply your two binomials.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Use the same variable in both. Lose the v and put x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Could you hold on please, I have to make a short phone call?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

I'm outta here.
