well, if you distribute on both terms, what do you get?

jdoe0001 · Answer

ohh wait. .is factoring... hmmm

jdoe0001 · Answer

that looks .... hmm they do not have any common factor..... so, that's as factored as they can be I'd think
you can simplify them.. which means you'd have to distribute first
but you're only asked to factor, so, they don't have a common factor

anonymous · Answer

so they cannot be factored

anonymous · Answer

Do you know this one?? btw thank you so much
Factor the polynomial 
8x4 + 4x3 - 2x2

jdoe0001 · Answer

yeap.. they have no common factor

jdoe0001 · Answer

well.... do you know how to factor quadratics?

anonymous · Answer

Nope .-.

jdoe0001 · Answer

well... then... you may want to cover that first.... since that one is a quartic....but can be redone as a quadratic
