Question 254270: I dont know how to solve polynomials and linear factors.Can you help with the problem so i can understand.
Write each expression as a polynomial in standard form.
(x-3)^2(x-1)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
multiply
(x-3)^2=((x-3)(x-3)
Use foil First outer inner last
x*x
-3*x
-3*x
-3*-3
now the fun begins
add all those together and combine
now we have to deal with x-1
then multiply each one by x
then multiply each one -1
and the combine terms and make it look pretty
I hope you didn't get lost.
