RP QUESTION!!Faelyn grouped the terms and factored the GCF out of the groups of the polynomial 6x4 – 8x2 + 3x2 + 4. Her work is shown.


Step 1: (6x4 – 8x2) + (3x2 + 4)


Step 2: 2x2(3x2 – 4) + 1(3x2 + 4)


Faelyn noticed that she does not have a common factor. Which accurately describes what Faelyn should do next?

Respuesta :

Answer:Faelyn should realize that her work shows that the polynomial is prime.

Explanation:

The only difference between her factors in Step 2 is that the 4 in the first group is negative, while the 4 in the second group is positive.

Rearranging the polynomial to factor it will not change the end result.

Factoring out a negative will make not only one, but both terms, in one of the binomials the opposite sign; this will not make the factors the same.

Factoring only 2x out of the first group will result in having (3x³+4x); this is not the same either.

She should realize that when this happens, her polynomial is prime.
