I really don't understand this!

amistre64 · Answer

how many times does it cross or touch the x axis?

amistre64 · Answer

the number of times it touches the x axis will tell you how to factor it

if it never touches the x axis, then it has no real roots that can be factored

if it touches the x axis once, then it has one real root and is a perfect square

if it touches the x axis twice, then it has two real root and is simply a trinomial that can be factored
