Question

On a piece of paper, write down two nonfactorable polynomials (nonfactorable means that there are no rational/real factors of the polynomials; if you're unsure of what to use, start simple with something like : x+1 or x^2-3) or Latex: x^2−3). Multiply them together. If you'd like, multiply the result by another nonfactorable binomial. Post your final result and ask your peers to factor your new polynomial.

Answer 1

Explanation:

`3x^2+2x+11`

Now, I think this is right. In order to solve a polynomial by factoring, you need to do the two numbers to multiply, two numbers to add type stuff. you cant do that here.

You can complete the square here but that still wouldnt factor it. Youd get
`3x^2+2x+1-12`, which is still unfactorable
