Am i correct?

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah you know why?

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's hard to explain, but 4xy³ can go into 8xy⁵ -16x²y³ 20x⁴y⁴

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it can go into them all evenly

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

huh so its a?

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

i mean d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your answer was right. B a greatest common factor is a factor that you can pull out of a set of numbers\[8xy^5 - 16x^2y^3+20x^4y^4 =\]\[4xy^3(2y^2-4x+5x^3y)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i divided the whole thing by 4xy³ and had nothing else i could divide it by without having all whole numbers. so 4xy³ is the gcf (greatest common factor)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok you were right this time

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

omgggg

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

im always right

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

ur hereee

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

ok idk this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you want satellite to help? i could save his time by showing you

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

Well if satelite is still online, probably looking up rolex's

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

@satellite73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just an fyi: this has to do with gcf

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

a?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am finding myself a nice rolex

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the gcf of 8 and 12 is 4

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

how much time do u spend on ebay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the gcf of \(x^2\) and \(x\) is \(x\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hours

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

k is it a

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

or d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wearing a nice LeCoultre Memovox today

OpenStudy (anonymous):

says "slow down" lol

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

link doesnt work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its another factoring problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes B

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

aint tht expensive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now it works

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am not a poor kid like you who can't even buy sephoro makeup but actually no, i got it at a watch show for not too much $

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

ha ha ha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did you guess for the last one?

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

nothing

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

to many numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then do it, this one is easier than the others

OpenStudy (anonymous):

only common factor of those "too many numbers" is 4 (there are only three numbers there)

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, there is no \(x^2\) in each term, only a 4

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, \(4\times 4x^2=16x^2\) but you only have \(4x^2\)

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

finally

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

haha

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

kk hold on

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and your guess?

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

b..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on no \[(x+4)(x+4)=x^2+8x+16\] not \(x^2-4x+4\)

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

closer, but \[(x-4)(x-4)=x^2-8x+16\]

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x+2)(x+2)=x^2+4x+4\] but you want \[x^2-4x+4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the remaining guess is ...

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

finally \[(x-2)(x-2)=x^2-4x+4\] yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

u cant even see numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol because there aren't any

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

if i were u id take a sharpiie and put the numbers

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

like a boss

OpenStudy (anonymous):

eeeew

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is not mine, but mine is almost identical

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

wow k

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

this time give me sec to guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is a "wrist alarm" that is what the second crown is for before they had apps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok take your time

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

b?

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

or c not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets go slow which one has the constant (last number at the end) as a "perfect square" hint 60 is not a perfect square

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

100?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, but also \(144=12^2\) and \(36=6^2\) so there are three of them

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

a?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the next question is, which one has a middle term that is twice the number whose square is at the end?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for a, \(6^2=36\) but \(2\times 6=12\) so not that one \[(x+6)^2=x^2+12x+36\]

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

ohh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and \[(x+10)^2=x^2+20x+100\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so not that one either

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

ddddd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes because \(12^2=144,2\times 12=24\) and so \[(x+12)^2=x^2+24x+144\]

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

huh i was thinking of d first but then the others looked more like perfect square

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x+a)^2=x^2+2ax+a^2\]

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

OpenStudy (rootbeer003):

a?
