Polynomial help :p

boredfr:

\[n ^{4}+6n ^{3}+11n ^{2}+6n+1=(an ^{2}+bn+c)(pn ^{2}+qn+r)\]

boredfr:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @snowflake0531 you're needing to factor this, right? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) hehe, yessir

boredfr:

Also I have to show my work :P

animeobsessionn:

uh.. try breaking it down..

boredfr:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @animeobsessionn uh.. try breaking it down.. \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Oh um thx , I thought I had to build up smh .-.

dude:

For the values of a and c you just need to look at the highest coefficient (This case is \(n^4\)) \(an^2\times pn^2=n^4\) Do you know what the values of a and c would be here?

boredfr:

No-

boredfr:

Wait is it 1?

dude:

\(an^2\times pn^2=1n^4\) Just looking at the coefficients... \(a\color{red}{n^2}\times p\color{red}{n^2}=1\color{red}{n^4}\) \(a\times p=1\) What times what is 1?

dude:

Yes its 1

boredfr:

1*1=1 ._.

dude:

Now we move on to b and q For this we are looking at the ones with the power of 3. Which is only \(6n^3\) You want \(bn\times n^2=3n^3\) \(==> b\times 1=3\) and for q: \(qn\times n^2=3n^3\) \(==> q\times 1=3\) What times 1 is 3?

boredfr:

1x3=3 ._.

dude:

Yes so b and q would be 3 Now for the last two, c and r Because this is the constant, you just have to look at the last value \(n^4+6n^3+11n^2+6n\color{green}{+1}\) \(c\times r=1\)?

boredfr:

Errrrrrmmmmmm yes?

dude:

What times what is 1? xD

boredfr:

Errrrrmmmm no? xd rip me uh 1*1 is 1?

dude:

Yes, so c and r is 1 \((n^2+3n+1)(n^2+3n+1)\)

dude:

If you want to check it \((n^2+3n+1)(n^2+3n+1)\) \(n^4+3n^3+3n^3+n^2+n^2+9n^2+3n+3n+1\) \(n^4+6n^3+11n^2+6n+1\)

boredfr:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @dude If you want to check it \((n^2+3n+1)(n^2+3n+1)\) \(n^4+3n^3+3n^3+n^2+n^2+9n^2+3n+3n+1\) \(n^4+6n^3+11n^2+6n+1\) \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Umm ok so they are equal right?

dude:

Yes

IhelpUuHELPme:

LMAO i understood absulutely none of that,expect for the part where r and c equals now O-o

boredfr:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @IhelpUuHELPme LMAO i understood absulutely none of that,expect for the part where r and c equals now O-o \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Lucky it isnt your hw
