What is it called when you can not factor an equation

polyminal

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial with integer coefficients that cannot be factored into polynomials of lower degree , also with integer coefficients, is called an irreducible or prime polynomial . Example 1: x2+x+1.

Example 2:

The polynomial

x2−2

is irreducible over the integers. However, we could factor it as

(x−2√)(x+2√)

if we are allowed to use irrational numbers. So the irreducibility of a polynomial depends on the number system you're working in.

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
