Algebra.Com's Answer #74438 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! f(x) = 2x(x^2-4) = 2x^3-8x \n" ); document.write( "---------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "The polynomial you want is 2x^3-8x \n" ); document.write( "which factors as 2x(x^2-4) = 2x(x-2)(x+2) \n" ); document.write( "================ \n" ); document.write( "How do you contruct it? \n" ); document.write( "Take the product of any monomial and a factorable binomial. \n" ); document.write( "Eg: 7x(x^2-9) or 3x(x^2-16) etc. \n" ); document.write( "===================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
