Question

HELP FOR A MEDAL AND BEST ANSWER REALLY STUCK ON THIS ://
you will create four different quadratic functions. Then demonstrate to him how to rewrite each function as a group of factors, if possible.
The function f(x) is a difference of squares.
The function g(x) is a sum of squares.
The function h(x) is a perfect square trinomial.
The function j(x) can only have a GCF factored out of it.

Answer 1

To start off:

The function f(x) is a difference of squares means something like x^2 - 4

for a sum of squares, change that minus sign to a plus sign

Answer 2

ok c:

Answer 3

Still need more help?

Answer 4

i dont really get it tbh

Answer 5

Don't really get what? What i wrote, or the assignment?

Answer 6

@omgkelley

Answer 7

The function f(x) is a difference of squares.

This means a function of the form \[\Large f(x) = x^2 - a^2\]they're both squares, and the difference means subtraction.

For example \\[\Large f(x) = x^2 -9\]since 9 is 3 squared.

Answer 8

oh okay c: & the assignment

Answer 9

That's why we're doing it step by step... now do you know how to factor this: \[\Large f(x) = x^2 -9\]
