factor polynomial completely.
(5x-2)(5x+2)(25x-10i)(25x+10i)
is this correct?
==================
If you multiply the x terms, you get 15625x^4, so I'd say not.
= (5x-2)(5x+2)(25x + 4)
--------------
Factor, unless spec'd otherwise, means integers, not complex numbers.
This is a difference of two squares (DOTS) polynomial. As such, we get: ). You did factor the 1st polynomial, further, but you now need to factor the sum of two-squares polynomial, (), further.
= = (5x + 2i)(5x – 2i). This results in:
