Question

What are Special products in Algebra 2? @Kainui @invinceble @Lyssa123 @superhelp101 @fabiomartins @HELP!!!! @SolomonZelman

Answer 1

Example how do you use special products in this equation \[x^{2}+8x+16\] @SolomonZelman @laurisve @Rainbow16 @RockerSk8er @HELP!!!! @radar @sweetburger @aaronq @Imyourbulbasaur

Answer 2

I'm in algebra 1, so I don't know, sorry,

Answer 3

But, I would guess that a special product is the product of that equation, which would be something like \[24x^2\] Idk though, just my best guess.

Answer 4

Thats wrong ^

Answer 5

Didn't think it was.

Answer 6

A special product is a different way of factoring, like the difference of squares and the sum of squares.

Answer 7

Disregard my answer!

Answer 8

So for this problem we need to find a square or a number that has been multiplied by itself

Answer 9

(Hint: 4^2)

Answer 10

Can you just walk me through it please?

Answer 11

Ok im going to type the equation so I don't have to scroll all the way up the whole time x^2+8x+16

Answer 12

Do you know how to factor?

Answer 13

Yes @swagmaster47

Answer 14

Ok so our first step would be to go about factoring x^2+8x+16, where b+b must equal factors of ac:
x^2+4x+4x+16
(x+4)(x+4)
Normally we would finish here, but this can be simplified one step further.
(x+4)^2
Aha! Our problem was the square of a binomial, one type of a special product.

Answer 15

its right @swagmaster
