factor 15x^2+20x

OpenStudy (aripotta):

can we factor anything out?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

we wanna do like, the opposite of distribution. so find the common factors between the two terms

OpenStudy (ayee_ciera):

5

OpenStudy (ayee_ciera):

@AriPotta

OpenStudy (aripotta):

5 is correct, but there's something else we can factor out as well

OpenStudy (ayee_ciera):

3 and 4?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

x..we can factor out 5x to get 5x(3x + 4)

OpenStudy (aripotta):

make sense?

OpenStudy (ayee_ciera):

oh yes

OpenStudy (ayee_ciera):

Match the expression with its name. 3x3 – 3x + 3

OpenStudy (ayee_ciera):

fourth-degree monomial not a polynomial quadratic binomial cubic trinomial

OpenStudy (aripotta):

any ideas?

OpenStudy (ayee_ciera):

i think it quadratic but idk

OpenStudy (aripotta):

how many terms are there in the expression?

OpenStudy (ayee_ciera):

3 terms

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so a 3-term polynomial is called a trinomial..

OpenStudy (ayee_ciera):

so it would be a cubic trinomial

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes

OpenStudy (ayee_ciera):

@AriPotta From the equation of a parabola identify the focus and directrix: From the equation of a parabola identify the focus and directrix: \[(x-1)^{2} = 4 (y-1)\]
