Factorize:
x3+(2a+1)x2+(a2+2a-1)x+(a2-1)
(when the number is before the variable, it is an exponent. Im still confused on how to put exponets in this questions)
Answer:
x3 + 2x2a + x2 + xa2 + 2xa - x + a2 - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.1 Factoring a2+2a-1
The first term is, a2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +2a its coefficient is 2 .
The last term, "the constant", is -1
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -1 = -1
Step-2 : Find two factors of -1 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 2 .
-1 + 1 = 0
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
