k ill try it again

anonymous · Answer

does factor mean simplify ?

anonymous · Answer

(4x)^2+2*4x*3+3^2=(4x+3)^2

a1234 · Answer

To factor the above problem, I think you need to find two numbers that have a sum of 24 and a product of 144.

anonymous · Answer

and make it long and calculative

a1234 · Answer

What do you mean? He's asking how to factor the problem. Suppose you don't have the answer choices in front of you, then how do you do it? @g17

a1234 · Answer

It is not always a perfect square.

anonymous · Answer

(a+b)^2 hope u remember it

a1234 · Answer

Okay...suppose you have the following problem.

(13x^2 + 17x + 4)

Then how do you do it? It is not a perfect square. I was just telling dirtydan667 what steps to use.

gorv · Answer

then u should have taken a common approch

gorv · Answer

it was ur mistake that u took a perfect square as example

a1234 · Answer

It was an example...it can be used to any problem. Even behind a perfect square, there are details you have to know. If you did a perfect square without knowing why you perform each step, it is senseless.
