Question

Help! Will medal!
What type of polynomial is X(X-X)(X-X)?

Answer 1

Here are the exact numbers
X(X-4)(X-5)

Answer 2

what do you think the highest exponent of x is?

Answer 3

1

Answer 4

Because when none are shown it is 1

Answer 5

X * X * X = ?

Answer 6

3?

Answer 7

Oh so thias is a trinomial?

Answer 8

this* @welshfella

Answer 9

well in UK we would call it a cubic polynomial but it has 3 terms in it so it might be a trinomial in the US

Answer 10

Yes! So what degree would it be?

Answer 11

it expands to x^3 - 9x^2 + 20x

Answer 12

the degree is 3

Answer 13

because of the x^3

Answer 14

because 3 is the biggest exponent right?

Answer 15

yes

Answer 16

Awesome I thank you, I may need help in a little bit and will tag you if that is alright.

Answer 17

i'll be here for about another half hour

Answer 18

Ok

Answer 19

@welshfella do you have time for another question?

Answer 20

@gorv

Answer 21

Factor 3x2y2 - 2xy2 - 8y2. Show your work

Answer 22

3x^2y^2-2xy^2-8y^2

Answer 23

Please im running out of time

Answer 24

you need to find the gcf of the 3 terms
thats the greatest term which will divide exactrly into each of the 3 terms

Answer 25

I think -2

Answer 26

the numbers 2 3 and 8 have no gcf
the only thing common to all 3 is y^2 so that is your gcf

Answer 27

Y^2(3x^2-2x-8)

Answer 28

right?

Answer 29

so take y^2 out
and it becomes
y^2( 3x^2

yes u r right

Answer 30

Can you factor it for me from there? And show the steps

Answer 31

hold on 3x^2 - 2x - 8 may also factor

Answer 32

I think (3x+4)(x-2)

Answer 33

3x^2 - 2x - 8

3 * -8 = -24 so try -6 and + 4

=3x^2 -6x + 4x - 8

= 3x(x - 2)+ 4(x - 2)

= (3x+ 4)( x - 2)

Answer 34

so finall we get
y^2(3x + 4)(x - 2)

Answer 35

gotta go right now

Answer 36

Ok thank you so much for your help and time
