anonymous 5 years ago How do you determine if a polynomial is the difference of two squares?

1. anonymous

waits for amistre

2. amistre64

im here lol

3. anonymous

a suggestion is try to factor

4. amistre64

it got the '-' in it

5. amistre64

thats a big clue

6. anonymous

yeah big clue

7. amistre64

and if you see that the sides can be sqrted thats another

8. amistre64

usually; if it has a square in it and has a - they want you to diff it

9. anonymous

I don't think you can have a odd exponent as the leading term

10. amistre64

you can; but it all depends on how anal a program is lol

11. anonymous

oh

12. amistre64

you said exponent.... i read coeeff

13. amistre64

..... still may apply tho lol

14. anonymous

happens to me all the time. im fukin dyslexic or something

15. anonymous

how did her question get from facotring to such an analytical question. Interesting text book

16. amistre64

$$x^{\sqrt{5}}$$

17. anonymous

or maybe th answer is in the introductioin of the cchapter

18. amistre64

$x^{5^{1/2}}$ lol

19. anonymous

x^ 1/5 - 0 X^1/5+ 0 ?

20. anonymous

I just need a 50 word response for my paper that is all I need

21. anonymous

is this a grad course on teaching algebra?

22. anonymous

So I am trying to put that all down and in the correct form so that it sounds right

23. anonymous

24. anonymous

No it is my algebra/117 my last basic class that I need

25. amistre64

uhoh..... if you qoute me youre gonna need alot of ****

26. anonymous

Praphrase

27. amistre64

28. anonymous

lol

29. anonymous

I am trying to write on my own I just need something to get started with

30. anonymous

write P=NP

31. anonymous

i'll give you \$400,000 if you can prove that

32. anonymous

I think im short changing you, too

33. amistre64

P=NP when P=0

34. anonymous

lol

35. anonymous

that's not proving P=NP, that's a case

36. amistre64

;)

37. anonymous

you can use a case to prove but you can't prove by cases

38. amistre64

$x^y + y^x = xy^{x+y}$
