Answer:
an exponent is the little number next to a number. it shows how many numbers of that number there are. sry thats confusing. so means 3 x 3 x 3, not the same as 3 x 3. another example: is the same as 5 x 5 x 5 x 5.
x^2+ 2x +-48
product: -48 sum: 2
8, -6
x^2 +8x - 6x - 48
=> x(x+8) -6(x+8)
=> (x+8)(x-6)
