Question

Create your own factorable polynomial with a GCF. Rewrite that polynomial in two other equivalent forms. Explain how each form was created.

Answer 1

I'm sorry but i have no idea what to do here, any help is appreciated, thanks a bunch.

Answer 2

Polynomial means something with x terms with x^2, x^3, x.... ok?

Answer 3

Yes..
\

Answer 4

for example x^2+2x+1 is a polynomial... ok?

Answer 5

Alright, i understand.

Answer 6

So gcf is greatest common factor right?

Answer 7

Yes, that's what it means as used here.

Answer 8

so.... really you can create a polynomial with a gcf its very easy.... actually every polynomial has gcf..... Am I right @mathstudent55 ?

Answer 9

Yeah, i think i get it.

Answer 10

But I'm not sure here we have to ask someone else...... @saseal can you hear me? Please help us....

Answer 11

it means to make something like ax^2+bx+c=0

Answer 12

Just add in common factors, correct..?

Answer 13

yea

Answer 14

they have to make sense. a must be the smallest

Answer 15

Is =0 part needed @saseal ?

Answer 16

not really

Answer 17

sure

Answer 18

Now where would i get the equivalent forms?

Answer 19

\[x(x^8+1)+y^3(x-y^3)\]

Answer 20

alrighty, thanks a ton
