@RadEn

OpenStudy (ash2326):

@lexiamee Do you know factorization?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont know how to figure this out

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Let's factor \[x^2-9x+18\]Can you try?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you look well, there's the whole procedure. so dont be telling me that I just gave the answer

OpenStudy (ash2326):

@Luis_Rivera you did not show how to factor neither you involved the asker in the solving process.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9=3*3 9*9=3*3*2

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Have you learnt factorization? like the factors for \[x^2+6x+9\] are \[(x+3)(x+3)\] @lexiamee

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay

OpenStudy (ash2326):

@lexiamee \[x^2-6x+9\] Tell me factors of 9, which add up to become -6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3*2

OpenStudy (ash2326):

\[x^2-9x+18\] Sorry Factors of 18 @lexiamee They should multiply to give 18 and sum to become -9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3*3

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Factors of 18 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3*3*2

OpenStudy (ash2326):

You're right, but they should sum to become -9 Does -6 and -3 are the required factors?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-6*-3=18

OpenStudy (ash2326):

does they add to become -9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (ash2326):

-6 + -3 -6-3=-9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (ash2326):

so let's write -9x as -6x -3x \[x^2-6x-3x+18\] can you take out x from the first two terms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what ones ?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

\[\underline{x^2-6x}-3x+18\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^2 - 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

\[x^2-6x=x (x-6)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah
