PLEASE HELP!!!!! Question 4: Part A: Factor 3x2y2 - 2xy2 - 8y2 . Show your work. (3 points) Part B: Factor x2 + 10x + 25. Show your work. (3 points) Part C: Factor x2 - 36. Show your work. (2 points) Part D: Do the polynomials in parts A, B, and C have a common factor? Explain your answer. (2 points) Answers: Part A: y^2(3x+4)(x-2) Part B: (x-5)^2 Part C: (x+6)(x-6) Part D: Yes the common factor is x^2
www.mathway.com is a good website that will do all that work for you @CountryGurl15
Okay really?
you can factor out a y^2 in part a because all terms contain it
Can you just tell if those r right or not please =)
ohh sorry i didnt see the answers at the bottom
part B is wrong
yes those r the answers =)
part b is wrong?
Yup part B is incorrect (a+b)^2 = a^2+b^2 +2ab
How would i fix part b?
(x-5)^2 = x^2 + -10X + 25
that is what your answers looks like factored
oh okay so what would the correct answer be?
check my previous message
you need to make the 10 x positive by changing something.....
adding 5?
Nooooooo
no inside the brackets
(x-5)^2 to (x+5)^2 that's what i meant =)
yeah nice job
okay so that would make 10 positive ? =)
yes, one way to check is to re distribute
okay so it will be (x+5)^2 =x^2 +10x +25 ?
yup
okay now what? =)
so wait the factored version of x^2 +10 +25 is (x+5)^2 ?
or (x+5)(x+5)
okay that ^^ is the correct answer for part b?
everything else looks good
Awesome! thx so much for all the help! =)
