It's just algebra tiles. Let me see if I can create a representation for you

Alr ty sm🙏

Subtonic4 · Answer

um factorized is x^2 - 5x + 6 is (x - 2)(x - 3).

Hero · Answer

This is the boxed representation of Algebra tiles.
$\displaystyle \begin{array}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
 & x & -3\
\hline
x & x^{2} & -3x\
\hline
-2 & -2x & +6\
\hline
\end{array}$

OHHHH ok so it's the first one TY SM I have no clue how u did it but ty

Hero · Answer

What they did was use individual tiles for each unit/variable but then they made it look more confusing than it actually is by including the other tiles.

They made it look harder than it actually was by including non-sensical options.

LaPrincessaHermosa · Answer

Non-sensical options?

Hero · Answer

Yes, the other options do not represent the box method.

Ngl I'm still so confused😭

Hero · Answer

The box method of multiplying polynomials involves performing the operation that corresponds to the elements of each blank inner box. The outer boxes represent the multiplication of $(x - 2)(x - 3)$. To find the product, multiply the elements associated with each inner box. For the top left blank box, the product is $x*x$ or $x^2$ for example.

$\displaystyle \begin{array}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
\cdot  & x & -3\
\hline
x & \ \ \ \  & \
\hline
-2 &  & \
\hline
\end{array}$

Ohhhh Alr got it I'ma try to do one right now I think I have it now do ty sm🙏

Once you have found all the elements of the inner box, the last step is to add them together while combining like terms. For example, in this case, the elements of the inner boxes are $x^2, -2x, -3x$ and $6$. Adding them together and combining like terms is how you get $x^2 -5x+6$

LaPrincessaHermosa · Answer

Alr got it ty sm I'm doing one right now I think i get it now fully ty

LaPrincessaHermosa · Answer

Alr so I just did this one and it would be (x-2)(x-5) right

Hero · Answer

Correct.

LaPrincessaHermosa · Answer

But quick question do you do the same thing for the X method?

Hero · Answer

Wow, they really tried to dumb this down as much as possible. What a shame.

Hero · Answer

There's an easier way to factor the polynomial, but they want you to use this "X method" so I recommend you just watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG6jYmX7J6c

Hero · Answer

@laprincessahermosa have you watched the video?

LaPrincessaHermosa · Answer

No mb I was working on the assignment like the ones I knew how to do But I'm abt to watch it
