Question

Factor
x^2+x+1

It told me the answer was....Prime?

Answer 1

that is because it cannot be factored using real numbers

Answer 2

Oh ok so if it can't be factored the answer is Prime

Answer 3

just like if you have an integer that cannot be factored, like say 13, it is called a "prime number"

Answer 4

if you have a polynomial that cannot be factored, it is called "prime' as well

Answer 5
