Algebra.Com's Answer #22750 by jcmtnez(53) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You may see that 8^2=64 and therefore (4*2)^2=64, that means that 4^2*2^2=64 (As probably now 2^2=4) therefore 4^2*4=64 that is the same that 4^3=64. \n" ); document.write( "As I show you 4 is a root of the polynomial c^3-64, and therefore when we divide by c-4 we will obtain another polynomial, at this time of degree two.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Using syntethetic division we easily have that (c^3-64)/(c-4)= c^2+4c+16, then we can express c^3-64 as (c-4)(c^2+4c+16) which is the factorized form.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Note: We can make more factorization because the solutions and the factors of c^2+4c+16 involve complex numbers. If you need more help, or you didn't understand something, please ask me again. \n" ); document.write( " |
