Question

Need some one tot talk his out with me <3

Explain, in complete sentences, how you would factor 8x6 – 56x3 + 98.?

Answer 1

We want to factor out the biggest factor we can, so the first step will be to find the GCF (greatest common factor) of our 3 terms: 8x6.........56x3.........98

Answer 2

8x^6 – 56x^3 + 98
The largest factor for your statement is 2. Remove the 2 as a factor. Your statement is now
2(4x^6-28x^3+49). Next, we need to find factors that equal 4x^6 and 49 when multiplied and -28 when added. 2 and -7 are the solutions. 2*2 is 4, (2*-7) + (2*-7) is - 28, and -7 *-7 is 49. Additionally, x^3 * x^3 is x^6. x^3 plus x^3 provides a number with an x^3. Now, we combine 2, -7, and x^3 to create the factors.
We find 2(2x^3-7)(2x^3-7) is our solution.

am i right?
