I need help with factoring.
what is the highest value that will divide into 4x^2 and 20x?
Ok so question 3 in the first attachment would be (x-6)(x-6) in factored form because -6+-6=-12 and -6*-6=36
x-6 is not an answer
So the answer would be D
oh (m-6)^2?
I know I was replacing M with X
okay
Yes
what about the others?
To factor, find out what multiple each term have in common. For the first one (4x^2+20x), 4x^2 and 20x have a 4x in common (as on both can be divided by 4x evenly). So factoring out 4x from the equation will give you 4x(x+5) For the second one (m^2-12m+36), you only look at the coefficients. To factor this, the coefficient of the squared term must be one, which it is. Next look at the constant (36) and the m coefficient (-12) you want to find two whole numbers that multiply to make 36 and add to make 12. -6 and -6 are the two numbers. So the factored form will look like (m-6)(m-6)=(m-6)^2 196=14^2 so (y^2-196)=(y^2-14^2)=(y+14)(y-14) Same as the second 8 and 1 multiply to make 8 and add to make 9 So the factored form is (x+1)(x+8)
Ok 1st question in the 1st attachment the x intercepts are 0 and -5 so the answer is. . . 4x(x+5)
Thanks for the help guys!
Umm yeah no problem. . .
100%!!
^~^ thats good
