Do you recall group factoring?

anonymous · Answer

No :(

zale101 · Answer

f(x) = x3 + 4x2 - x - 4
f(x) = (x^3 + 4x^2) -( x + 4 )
Can you factor each parenthesis now ?

anonymous · Answer

Im not sure im honestly so new to this :(

zale101 · Answer

f(x) = (x^3 + 4x^2) -( x + 4 )
x-4 became x+4 because i factored a negative one just so you're not confused
