- For Exercises 115–120, factor the expressions over the set of complex numbers. For assistance, consider these examples. • In Section R.3 we saw that some expressions factor over the set of integers. For example: x - 4 = (x + 2)(x – 2). • Some expressions factor over the set of irrational numbers. For example: - 5 = (x + V5)(x – V5). To factor an expression such as x + 4, we need to factor over the set of complex numbers. For example, verify that x + 4 = (x + 2i)(x – 2i). 115. а. х - 9 116. а. х? - 100 117. а. х - 64 b. x + 9 b. + 100 b. x + 64 118. а. х — 25 119. а. х— 3 120. а. х — 11 b. x + 25 b. x + 3 b. x + 11arrow_forwardIn Exercises 83–90, perform the indicated operation or operations. 83.

In each exercise, factor the polynomial. (You'll soon be learning techniques that will shorten the factoring process.) 141. x? + 14x + 49 142. x? – 8x + 16 143. х2 — 25 (or x? + 0х — 25)arrow_forward
- Make Sense? In Exercises 135–138, determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. 135. Knowing the difference between factors and terms is important: In (3x?y)“, I can distribute the exponent 2 on each factor, but in (3x² + y)', I cannot do the same thing on each term. 136. I used the FOIL method to find the product of x + 5 and x + 2x + 1. 137. Instead of using the formula for the square of a binomial sum, I prefer to write the binomial sum twice and then apply the FOIL method. 138. Special-product formulas have patterns that make their multiplications quicker than using the FOIL method.arrow_forwardIn Exercises 34–37, solve each polynomial equation. 34. 3x? = 5x + 2 35. (5x + 4)(x – 1) = 2 36. 15x? – 5x = 0 37. x - 4x2 - x + 4 = 0arrow_forwardIn Exercises 30–33, factor the greatest common factor from each polynomial. 30. 16x3 + 24x² 31. 2x 36x2 32. 21x?y – 14xy² + 7xy 33. 18r'y? – 27x²yarrow_forward
- In Exercises 115–116, express each polynomial in standard form-that is, in descending powers of x. a. Write a polynomial that represents the area of the large rectangle. b. Write a polynomial that represents the area of the small, unshaded rectangle. c. Write a polynomial that represents the area of the shaded blue region. 115. -x + 9- -x +5- x + 3 x + 15 -x + 4- x + 2 116. x + 3 x + 1arrow_forwardIn Exercises 129–132, determine whether each statement is true or false.
