Answer 2

(4x - 3)(x + 2)

Answer 3

Thanks!

Answer 4

Can you help me with another?

Answer 5

You're welcome. It's rather hard to explain these over the internet but sure.

Answer 6

Determine the factors of 4ry + 3rz + 8xy + 6xz.

(4x + 4)(2y + 3z)

(4x + 3z)(2y + r)

(4y + r)(2x + 3z)

(4y + 3z)(2x + r)

Answer 7

Answer 8

Isn't it D?

Answer 9

(4*y + 3*z)*(r + 2*x) so yes D

Answer 10

What class is this for if you don't mind me asking?

Answer 11

Okay great! Its for Algebra.

Answer 12

Factor completely: 36x^2 - 49

(3x + 7)(12x - 7)

(3x - 7)(12x + 7)

(6x - 7)(6x - 7)

(6x + 7)(6x - 7)

Answer 13

Well the fastest, somewhat cheating, method is to simply FOIL all the given choices. This backfires when you aren't given multiple choice tests though.

Answer 14

This one would also be D right?

Answer 15

Since this one have two perfect square roots its rather easy to find but it becomes
(6*x - 7)*(6*x + 7) so yeah D

Answer 16

Which polynomial is a difference of two squares?

x^2 + 25

x^2 - 25

x^2 - 10

x^2 + 10

Is this one C? I don't quite understand how to do it.

Answer 17

This page gives a good explanation http://www.purplemath.com/modules/specfact.htm

Answer 18

x^2 - 25 is the answer to this one

Answer 19

Thanks!

Answer 20

You're welcome bud.

Answer 21

What are the zeroes of f(x) = x^2 + 5x + 6?

x = -2, -3

x = 2, 3

x = -2, 3

x = 2, -3
