Question

x^4-3x^2-2 answer this. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

STEP

1

:

Equation at the end of step 1

((x4) - 3x2) - 2

STEP

2

:

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1 Factoring x4-3x2-2

The first term is, x4 its coefficient is 1 .

The middle term is, -3x2 its coefficient is -3 .

The last term, "the constant", is -2

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -2 = -2

Step-2 : Find two factors of -2 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -3 .

-2 + 1 = -1

-1 + 2 = 1

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Final result :

x4 - 3x2 - 2
