Question

Medal will be awarded!!!!
Part 1: Create your own factorable trinomial. (1 point)

Part 2: Explain, in complete sentences, how the trinomial is factored. (1 point)

Part 3: Explain, in complete sentences, the process used to check the factors for accuracy. (1 point)

Answer 1

Write a binomial and post it.

Answer 2

x^2 + 2

Answer 3

Write another binomial and post it.

Answer 4

x + 4

Answer 5

Ok. Make the first on x+2. It will make it easier on yourself.

Answer 6

Now multiply those two binomials.

Answer 7

Opposite of FOIL can factor trinomials...right ?

Answer 8

Ok. texas wants to help you now. Too many cooks, you know....

Answer 9

Ok but one thing is I need the trinomial to have a squared x value like x^2 + 2x + 3

Answer 10

I do not want to take over this question....@Mertsj ...its yours

Answer 11

If you multiply the two binomials you will have a trinomial and it will have an x^2 in it.

Answer 12

Ok.

Answer 13

so the factors are (x +2) (x + 2)

Answer 14

What are the two binomials you are going to multiply?

Answer 15

(x+2 ) (x+2)

Answer 16

When I said write a binomial you wrote x^2+2. I said to make it x+2.
Then I said write another binomial and you wrote x+4
Then I said to multiply the two binomials and then you got off on this (x+2)(x+2) stuff somehow.

Answer 17

So: Multiply (x+2)(x+4) then you will have a trinomial and it will have an x^2 in it

Answer 19

Ok I am sorry but I did not understand that part. So (x+2)(x+4) is x^2 + 6x + 8

Answer 20

Yes. Now factor x^2+6x+8

Answer 21

Uh I think there's a disconnection somewhere. Maybe you should start again.

Answer 22

You have now done part 1 which says to create your own factorable trinomial.

Answer 23

Now you are on part 2 which says to factor your trinomial.

Answer 24

It is (x+2)(x+4)

Answer 25

That is correct.

Answer 26

Now what do I do.

Answer 27

Now do part 3. How would you know that the factors are correct?
Hint: Are 3 and 4 factors of 12? How do you know?

Answer 28

.........but it's a trinomial. Shouldn't it be 3 roots?

Answer 29

You just multiply the factors again and if it gives you the trinomial the factors are correct. RIGHT???

Answer 30

yes. That is right

Answer 31

thats what I would do :)

Answer 32

Thank you all.

Answer 33

yw

Answer 34

TRINOMIAL:
\[x ^{2}+5x+6\]
Fatorization:
\[x^{2}+5x+6\]=\[x ^{2}+2x+3x+6=x(x+2)+3(x+2)=(x+3)(x+2)\]
first break the number with x in such away that the product of the numbers after breaking it is the number to itz right here5x=2x+3x and 2.3=6
part 3: multiply both the expressions i.e.,\[(x+3)(x+2)=x^{2}+5x+6\]

Answer 35

WOW WAY TO THROW ME OF ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Answer 36

lol....it gets confusing sometimes

Answer 37

Yea I can see that but why was the other mans explanation much easier.

Answer 38

stick with the one you are more comfortable with
