Algebra.Com's Answer #128811 by bob123132(33)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Now that we have -t^2-4t(to make it easier visually, we can divide all terms by -1) so it is t^2+4t \n" ); document.write( "then you just need to take the common factor which is t (t can be divided from each term) then you leave the factored one out. you want the form of _(t+_) so you take the factored term which is t from each: t^2/t=t \n" ); document.write( "4t/t=4 \n" ); document.write( "so you then take the factored term (t) and put it in front: \n" ); document.write( "t(_+_) \n" ); document.write( "and then add in the remaining terms(t and +4) \n" ); document.write( "t(t+4) \n" ); document.write( "there you have it!\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to prove, expand \n" ); document.write( "t*t=t^2 \n" ); document.write( "t*4=4t \n" ); document.write( "so you have t^2+4t\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Final Answer= t(t+4) \n" ); document.write( " |
