Question

what is an example of a polynomial that can be factored ?

Answer 1

@iGreen

Answer 2

@Hero

Answer 3

Hint: create two binomials and multiply them together.

Answer 4

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You could make like:

(x - 1)(x - 1)

Can you multiply those together? @EuniceOB97

Answer 5

x^-1x?

Answer 6

@iGreen

Answer 7

No..you multiply them together..

Multiply these:

\(x \cdot x\)
\(x \cdot -1\)

\(-1 \cdot x\)
\(-1 \cdot -1\)

Answer 8

x^2 -1x -1x x 1

Answer 9

is that it ? @iGreen

Answer 10

This part is correct: x^2 - 1x - 1x

But I don't know why you put 'x 1' there..what's -1 * -1?

Answer 11

positve 1

Answer 12

is this able to be factored ?

Answer 13

Yes, so we have x^2 - 1x - 1x + 1, now can you subtract -1x - 1x?

Answer 14

@EuniceOB97 Yes, we already started with the factored form:

\((x - 1)(x - 1) \rightarrow (x - 1)^2\)

Answer 15

okay so -1x-1x = -2

Answer 16

@iGreen

Answer 17

-2x, actually.

So our final answer is:

\(x^2 - 2x + 1\)

This can be factored into \((x - 1)(x - 1)\) or \((x - 1)^2\).

Answer 18

okay so the polynomial is x^2-2x+1 ?

Answer 19

Yep.

Answer 20

Omg thank you so much . But are you good in world geography ?
