x^2+1/8

geerky42 (geerky42):

OK, and what do you need to do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to factor it but theres no like terms ;-;

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't think if you can do more in it..

geerky42 (geerky42):

Well... \(\dfrac{8}{8}x^2+\dfrac{1}{8} ~~~=~~~ \dfrac{1}{8}(8x^2+1)\)

geerky42 (geerky42):

I don't see how else it can be factored.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x- i \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}})(x+ i \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}})\] :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it has to have 1/2 in it cause its a little thing that i ahve to fill in the blank

geerky42 (geerky42):

You sure it's \(x^2+\dfrac{1}{8}\) and not \(x^3+\dfrac{1}{8}\)?

geerky42 (geerky42):

I knew it. Just remember that \(a^3+b^3 = (a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)\) So you have \(x^3 + \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^3 = ~\cdots~?\)
