hiiiii
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
hey :D
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
okay first question
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
heres the first 3

ok can you hold a minute I'm answering another question
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
yes I can
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
k back
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
so GCF is the greatest common factor.. what doe the equation have in common
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
so what does the equation \[6y^2+12xy^2 \] have in common? hint: there's a variable and a number in common

OpenStudy (lisa2345):
umm this is for 10?
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
yes
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
they both have 6 and Y^2
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
yes they do
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
so when there is something in common we can place that common part to the side.. so 6y^2 ( whatever there is left)

OpenStudy (usukidoll):
so since a 1 and 2x is left behind we have
6y^2(1+2x)
we can check easily by distributing them back
6y^2+12xy^2
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
so it A?
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
yes
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
for #11.. there is only a number in common because there are 2 terms with a variable but the last one is just a number
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
3 is a common factor

OpenStudy (usukidoll):
yes :D
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
so 3 is on the side and what do we have left ( ) ?
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
its B?
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
no because originally we have 3 terms.. B only has two terms.
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
there's a way to make this a bit faster... since 3 is the common factor we just divide 12/3 18/3 and 3/3

OpenStudy (lisa2345):
Got you.. so its D?
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
yes
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
for twelve, i have to right the answer out.
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
hmm there is just a number is common.. it's similar to the previous problem
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
okay.

OpenStudy (usukidoll):
so what number can be used to divide 3, 9, and 27 ?
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
3
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
is my answer ...
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
3(x2-3x+9) ?
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
wow you're picking this up fast that's right \[3(x^2-3x+9) \rightarrow 3x^2-9x+27\]

okay next 3
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
is 13 d?
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
just a quick guess :/
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
wait no I mean b

OpenStudy (usukidoll):
yes it is B for 13
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
14 b also?
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
yes
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
okay 15 now
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
2 is common

Sign Up
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
yes 2 is common
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
2(x2+9x+8)
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
correct
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
but I have to do the +C -C
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
hmmm that would mean that x^2+9x+8 is factorable
Still Need Help?

OpenStudy (lisa2345):
2(x+8)(x+1)
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
so there's more than just factoring out the 2 .... SOOO FAST! :D
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
did I get it right?
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
yeah
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
yay! next 3

well 2 lol
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
we need long division for this xD
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
what does that mean?
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
I don't understand :/

I'm getting burned out.. it's like .. oh mai brain T_T
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
lol geeeeez louiseeee
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
wait. see now I'm not thinking right... we just use factoring and take out the like terms
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
the choices gave me a hint... if it was long division the answer would look different.. ok I can do this now xD!
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
for the first problem, there is a perfect square binomial

OpenStudy (lisa2345):
Yay we are back on the road lol and okay.
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
so x^2-16... that's a perfect square in the form of (x^2-y^2) = (x+y)(x-y)... so what is the square root of 16?
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
4?
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
yes so we have (x+4)(x-4) in the denominator.
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
that makes it A?

OpenStudy (usukidoll):
I think we got lucky on the numerator part of this since we need to find a combination of numbers that can produce an 8 and a 16
4 x 4 = 16
4+4 is also 8 and since the pattern is all plus signs, our end result should be something like (x+4)(x+4) and wow it is A
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
because there is at least one pair of x+4 (both in numerator and denominator) in common so that gets cancelled.
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
okay 17 now
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
numerator is that there is one number in common
denominator is that it can be split up since 12 is 6 x 2 = 12 and 6-2 = 4 the problem is should the 2 be negative or the 6 be negative in order to achieve the result of x^2+4x-12
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
(x+6)(x-2)

OpenStudy (usukidoll):
yes an for the numerator?
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
5
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
yes 5 is common
5(x-2)/ (x+6)(x-2) who gets canceled out?
OpenStudy (lisa2345):
(x-2)
OpenStudy (usukidoll):
yes so the answer is 5/(x+6)
