Question 523809: I greatly appreciate the help ahead of time! I am struggling with 5 different problems but this is the first one.
20x^4-12x^3+8x^2
I would appreciate it if you could please show me how to solve the problems, I am not just looking for answers. Thanks so much!
Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
20x^4 - 12x^3 + 8x^2
this is not an equation that you can solve, you can only factor it:
Factor out 4x^2 from each term and you have:
4x^2(5x^2 - 3x + 2)
the trinomial will not factor, that's about all you can do with it
