  • slow mind !

    

  • more like, can't skip school

  • my teacher told me to check out your videos, these are really helpful thx for posting!

  • @kingofdice66 That is not a quadratic polynomial since the first term is degree 3. To factor this polynomial, you need to think of all the possible factors of 9 which are: (+/-1, +/-3, +/-9)...then plug each number into the polynomial until you find one that makes the polynomial 0. (I believe -3 does that) So (x - (-3)) is a factor. Then you do long division. x^3-6x+9 divided by x+3. That gives you a quadratic and you continue factoring from there.

  • work it backwards:

    4(4-x)(4+x) = FOIL 4(16+4x-4x-x^2)....

    4x-4x=0 so now we have 4(16-x^2) multiply 4 in to paranthases = 64-4x^2.

  • 64-4x^2 is 4(4-x)(4+x) i know, but i donit entirely understand why. Please help me

  • Weird, on your previous video you didn't put a 2 at the front when you divided both sides by 2 cause 0 divide 2 equals 0. Why did you put a 3 there at the front -.- It doesn't fit with what you did in the quadratic factoring in your first video and here

  • what about x^3-6x+9

  • good video i understand it completely, and i love that a^2 - b^2 trick its cool. im gonna show this to my teacher lol (im in 9th grade)
