Question 173869: factor each polynomial
-6t -t^2 + 2t
You can rearrange this and simplify to make it easier to the following:
-t^2-4t Answer by bob123132(33) (Show Source):
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
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
4t/t=4
so you then take the factored term (t) and put it in front:
t(_+_)
and then add in the remaining terms(t and +4)
t(t+4)
there you have it!
to prove, expand
t*t=t^2
t*4=4t
so you have t^2+4t
Final Answer= t(t+4)
