4) WILL GIVE MEDAL AND FAN! Factor. x2 + 8x + 16 a. (x – 8)2 b. (x + 8)2 c. (x – 4)2 d. (x + 4)2

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

hello again xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha hey!

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

redy :P

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

so we have (x+ ) (x+ ) you understand why correct :P

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

again find the sqr root of 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup!

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

4 is the sqr root of 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add like terms first

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

so we get (x+4) (x+4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right!

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

or (x+4)^2

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

D xD

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

C

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D ? or C ? lol

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

D

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

D has not negatives

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

remeer what i said about double negatives

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

lol wait it came out wrong i mean lets do the math here one sec

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

xD

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

also keep in mind a negative times a negative equals a positive

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

you can check my match i wrote it all out in the chat :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha yea!

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

yea but you would have a negative and a possitive

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

something like x2+8x-16

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

which is not what we want

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

we only want possitives so we go with d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so D?

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

yes :)

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

@brae choose D and tell me if its right

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

I guarantee 100% its not

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

here just to ease our worries ill work out c :P

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

(x-4) (x-4)

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

your forgetting to mention the \[^{2}\]

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

lol the ^2

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

x2-4x-4x+8

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Ok keep going

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

the ^2= double parenthesis so x-4 x-4

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Here ill explain it so you can even understand it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x is the variable so you have to keep that in the problem

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

x^2-8x+16

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

x2-4x-4x+16*

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

as i said

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

double negatives always equals + and -

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its like a whole activity so they only time I can tell if its right is if i complete the whole lesson

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

x^2-8x+16 x^2-4x-4x+16 ... see note below (x^2-4x)+(-4x+16) x(x-4)-4(x-4) (x-4)(x-4) (x-4)^2 So x^2-8x+16 completely factors to (x-4)^2 Note: we want to find two numbers that multiply to 16 and add to -8. These two numbers are -4 and -4. So we break -8x into -4x-4x and then factor by grouping.

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Ok im done here @brae its up to you to choose cya

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

if we wanted ^2-8x+16 you would be right

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

but we want x^2+8x+16

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Ok @brae choose your answer and come back and post the right answer if i am right you never compete against me again @jennyrlz ;)

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

i am sure i am correct bu brae as he said it is up to you to pick ^.^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh ok this is hard!!

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

pick one and after you submit it tell us what the answer was

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i want to get it correct!! lol

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

@misty1212 can you settle this discusion xD

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

i would personally go with D

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

but it is up to you :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have one more question that I have to do then i can submit it

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

ok post it

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

here if you want :)

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

that way we can end this, i am dying to know xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is either c or d

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

lol @jennyrlz get ready to be disappointed and to ever compete or deny me again :)

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

if there isn't a negative in the equations how would it be c Q.Q, Doube negative gives a positive and a negative :)

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

never * ooops

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

we will see @Here_to_Help15 :3

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Or how bout this lets change the deal

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Ill message you to see if its agreeable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

agree on what

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Its our little agreement

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

if i am wrong i will medal you here to help :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u guys know this one? Factor completely. 4u2 – 28u + 49

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

look a plus and minus

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

you know what this means?

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

This wasnt your last question xD

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

double negative, what do you know :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. (2u – 4)2 b. (2u – 7)2 c. (4u + 7)2 d. 2(2u – 7)2

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Its (2u-7)^2

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

we can immediately rule out c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok!

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

sorry for that direct answer i just want to proove @jennyrlz wrong :)

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):
