Question:

Part A: How do you factor trinomials? Use 2x^3 - 16x^2 - 18x to explain the process.



Part B: How can we check the binomial factors to verify that they are truly factors?

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

You pull-out what is common.

2
`x^(3) -16x^(2) -18x`

`2x(x^(2) -8x-9)`

2x(x-9)(x+1)

To verify, set each answer = 0

2x = 0, x=0

x-9 = 0, x=9

x+1 = 0, x=-1

Now, plug each value back into the equation and make sure each one equals 0.
