factor 49n^2 + 56n + 7
\[49n^{2}+56n+7\]\[\text{find the greatest common factor of 49, 56 and 7}\]\[\text{so basically what single number can be multiplied}\]\[\text{by a certain other number to get each number?}\]
7
do you know what to do now then?
nope
how do you factor something mero?
(7n + something) (n +something)
well there is an easier way but that works too i guess\[\text{GCF}(\frac{49}{\text{GCF}}n^{2}+(\frac{56}{\text{GCF}})n+(\frac{7}{\text{GCF}})\]GCF means greatest common factor
then take out the stuff outside parentheses and factor the stuff inside. the smaller the numbers the easier to solve mero~ o vo
how would you do that for this
i just explained that to you
no i know but for this example
ok. what's the GCF ?
is it 7
so replace "GCF" with 7 in the equation i gave you then take out the 7 outside the parentheses and keep the equation inside the parentheses
7n^2 + 8n + 1
yes, \[7n^{2}+8n+1\]
can you solve now?
(7n + 1 ) (n + 1)
i'm kinda rusty with the actual factoring stuff when n^2 has a coefficient sorry
|dw:1420327300506:dw|I got this:\[(7n+7)(n+1)\]
