Which expression is equivalent to x^4 - 2x^3 + x^2? x²(x - 1)²
x²(x + 1)2
ox? (x + 1)(x - 1)
6 x? (x² + 1) (x - 1)

x²(x - 1)²

Step-by-step explanation

Given the expression x^4 - 2x^3 + x^2

Factoring out the common terms;

x^2 (x^2-2x + 1)

Factorize the expression in bracket

= x^2 (x^2-2x + 1)

= x^2 (x^2-x-x + 1)

= x^2 (x(x-1)-1(x-1))

= x^2 (x-1)(x-1)

= x^2(x-1)^2

Hence the factored form of the expression is x²(x - 1)²

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
