Question

Factor -37x^2+x^4+36

Answer 1

Need help?

Answer 2

The first thing I did was rerange it to x^4-37x^2+36( sorry I had to go do something)

Answer 3

Okay , and you're fine . And give me 5 mins and I shall explain the steps.

Answer 4

ok

Answer 5

Okay the answers are : (x−1)(x+1)(x−6)(x+6) heres how to get it , hold on.

Answer 6

Step 1 :
Simplify x4-37x2 + 36





Method : Factoring by splitting the middle term

The first term is x4 ,its coefficient is 1
The middle term is -37x2 ,its coefficient is -37
The last term, also called 'the constant', is +36

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the
first term by the constant

1 • 36 = 36

Step-2 : Find two factors of 36 whose
sum equals the coefficient of the
middle term, which is -37

-36 + -1 = -37

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting
the middle term using the two
factors found in Step-2, (-36) and (-1)

x4 - 36x2 - 1x2 - 36

Step-4 : Add up first 2 terms, pulling
out like factors : x2•(x2-36)

Add up last 2 terms, pulling
out common factors: 1 • (x2-36)
———————————
Factorization is : (x2-1)•(x2-36)
