am I correct or wrong on these 5 problems?
1, yep :) 2. 12x^3 + 5 + 5x^2 - 6x^2 + 3x^3 - 2 - x 5x^2 - 6x^2 = -x^2 not +x^2
so would #2 be B?
2. B yep :) 3. yep :) 4. yep :) 5. foil (2h - 1)(3h+5) ^ ^ -1 * 5 = -5 not +5
wow I really got 3 and 4 right? haha
Would #5 be D?
yep :)
Can you please help with 3 more? I'm not sure if I got them right or wrong @jigglypuff314
nope nope and nope lol gimme a sec for explanations
aw I thought I got at least one of them right, but okay lol
21k^4 + 9k^3 - 12k^2 you want to pull out the greatest common factor so what do you think all three of these values have in common?
3
yep and for the k values, you can only pull out the greatest common factor would of that too so what is the largest number of ks you can pull out?
7
umm out of k^4 k^3 and k^2 you would only be able to pull out the one with the lowest power so k^2 then out of the overall value you can only pull out a 3k^2
oops I read it wrong
sorry
it's alright :)
the second is a difference of squares... a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b) 36x^2 - 25 = (6x)^2 - (5)^2 = then plug into form if 6x = a and 5 = b
so would it be C?
yep :D
yay! :D
x^2 - 5x + 6 ^ the numbers add up to -5 ^ the numbers multiply up to 6 for the option you choose (x + 2)(x - 3) ^ ^ 2 * -3 not = +6 nor do they add up 2 + -3 not = -5
so would it be C?
it wouldn't be C because (x + 2)(x - 3) foiled out Does Not Equal x^2 - 5x + 6
so it's either A or D, I'm not sure
x^2 - 5x + 6 ^ the numbers add up to -5 ^ the numbers multiply up to 6 I'm not really good at explaining how to factor polynomials :/
It's okay, I'm not really good at understanding them
I think I'll just guess and put D, idk
it's A I just don't know how to explain :P
oh haha it's fine, what about the last one?
I'm confuzeled now... Use the polynomial to answer the question. 36x^2 - 25 Which represents the polynomial in factored form? A. (18x - 5)(18x - 5) B. (18x - 5)(18x + 5) C. (6x + 5)(6x - 5) <---- D. (6x - 5)(6x - 5) Use the polynomial to answer the question. x^2 - 5x + 6 Which represents the polynomial in factored form? A. (x - 2)(x - 3) <---- B. (x + 2)(x + 3) C. (x + 2)(x - 3) D. (x - 2)(x + 3)
it was one of the 3 questions you said I got incorrect
foil the one you choose, see what you get.
I'm not good at foil....
I've been asking a lot of help today because I'm not in a quiet room and I haven't been in a quiet area all day because I currently do not have a room to stay in
practice makes perfect, and foil is a must (x + 2)(x - 3) = x^2 -3x + 2x - 6 = x^2 - x - 6
I don't mind helping ya :) it's a lot more fun working with you than with some other peoplez :P
aw thank you :) you too, you don't get frustrated and you take your time with trying to help me understanding all the problems! its so nice
I feel like the next best answer to put is D because it had - and +
you would want one that had the same signs cuz they have to multiply up to +6 if they had different signs you would end up with a -6 in the equation.
So maybe it would be B...?
They both have +'s
I don't think it would be A because the signs are both -'s
but you would want a -5 in the middle part -2 -3 = -5 and -2*-3 = +6
- times - = +
oh so it is A.
yep :)
Now I just have 3 more but if I'm honest, I didn't come up with an answer for any of them and I feel like I've been asking you a lot so I'll just out them in another question. UNLESS you'd want to try and see if they're easy for you. They are about factoring.
they'll be easy for me to do :P I'll be able to do them :) I just can't explain factoring, so yeah....
B C D
Thank you so so so much! I wish I could give you more than a thank you and I've already gave you best response. I'm so greatful for your help and I now feel less stressed because of how kind and helpful you have been to me! You're amazing and intelligent! :D
lol your welcome I'm currently legitly failing my math class right now, so I'm not exactly smart, but I like simple math :) so feel free to tag or message me if you have any more questions :)
I'm surprised to hear that as you're really good at math. You must be in a much higher math class than me because what you call simple math, I find really difficult lol. I will do but for today that's all I have to ask. :)
my math class lost me at "slope of a curve" -.-" anyways, glad I could help :) and good night ;D
Good night! :D Hope you wake up in a good mood and have a good day tomorrow as you deserve it!
