Just to check my answer.


answer

I guess the second degree polynomial has to be: , in that case your answer is correct.

Sorry for that You are right

No problem!

I'm sorry to bother you but I'm know on my second set , and the instructions are (Factor the trinomial. If the trinomial cannot be factored say so.).

The Trinomial is

I tried But obviously there wasn't even a point to try that.

You're not bothering me . And your answer is correct again. You can check it by yourself by expanding: which is the given polynomial.

Sorry for my lack of understanding and communicating in english but therefore it cannot be factored since 3+1 is 4?

You don't have to excuse and 3+1 is indeed 4 but in this case it's 3x1 which is 3.

But doesn't it also have to be equal to 7 when you add it?
or since there is a coefficient on the the rules change?
