Factor:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2%2B16%2B8x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "It is customary to write polynomials in order of descending powers of the variable.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2%2B8x%2B16\"$ Notice that the first term $\"%28x%29%5E2\"$ and last term $\"%284%29%5E2\"$ are perfect squares.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The factors are:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2%2B8x%2B16+=+%28x%2B4%29%28x%2B4%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This can be written as:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%2B4%29%5E2\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
