Do you know factoring in algebraic expressions?

Answer 3

no i started a new school and this is all dude tofay when i got go school she a jerk i tol her i dont know any this stuff yet still make me do it and gradeing me on it :(

Answer 4

But you have to pay attention :)
If you're confused
Just ask me, im here

Answer 5

This won't take too long

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

Factoring in math simply means to break an expression into smaller expressions so it can be simplified.

Factoring can be done in many ways. You can break up numbers, variables or both. This question requires you to factor both.

To factor a number you would need to find the common denominator. Say 2x + 2. You can factor out the 2 to get 2(x+1)

To factor a variable, you would need to look at the degree of the variable(s) present. You need to factor out the smallest degree of the variable so you can simplify.
Say x^3 + x^2 +x. x can be factored out to get x(x^2+x+1).

Notice how you can multiply the number/variable on the outside of the brackets with everything inside to get exactly what you started with?

Answer 8

Does anything confuse you?

Answer 9

yeah
very

Answer 10

Tell me what you don't get
I explained factoring numbers and factoring variables. You don't get both?

Answer 11

my quess is c?

Answer 12

I'm explaining the concept
We'll get to your question later
i need you to understand

Answer 13

So back to concept, do you understand simple factoring?

Answer 14

i dont get none

Answer 15

If i give you
2x + 4
What can you take out so you can multiply back in again?

Answer 16

x?

Answer 17

So by taking out x you would get
x(2 + 4) = 6x
That is not the same as 2x+4
Think numbers
What is the Least Common Denominator for 2 and 4?

Answer 18

1?

Answer 19

Other than 1?

Answer 20

no

Answer 21

2 works....
If i take out 2
you get 2(x+2)
multiply 2 and x+2
you get 2x + 4
It works

Answer 22

We have to try one more before we can do variables

Answer 23

3x + 6
common denominator?
And show me what can you factor
