2x^4+6x^3-18^2-54x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are they just asking you to simplify?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you need to find the roots?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it say write in factored from

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so you have to factor this out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold up, we'll get this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good video for these types of problems https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxz0WNVnF38

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh and is that supposed to be \[-18x ^{2}\] or \[-18^{2}\] ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2x(x^3+3x^2-9x-27)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now can he factor by grouping the inside?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^ yes if it is -18x^2 but if it is as he wrote -18^2 it's a different answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't know if that was a typo or not...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2x(x^2(x+3)-9(x+3))\] \[2x(x^2-9)(x+3)\] difference of squares:\[2x(x+3)(x-3)(x+3)\]
