Please help solve this equation *** It's not an equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Factor completely.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "((( x^2q-q^3)))
\n" ); document.write( "Factor out 1
\n" ); document.write( "((( x^2q-q^3 = q*(x^2 - q^2))))
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2+-+q%5E2%29\"$ is a difference of 2 squares.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a%5E2+-+b%5E2+=+%28a-b%29%2A%28a%2Bb%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "is the polynomial prime?
\n" ); document.write( "Obviously not, a q was factored out.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
