You can make it easier by replacing x^n with another variable, factoring, then putting x^n back in the end.
Using exponent and algebra rules, rewrite x^2n - 2x^n + 1 as
(x^n)^2 - (2 x x^2) + 1
Then, let x^n = m.
m^2 - 2m + 1
Now factor that: (m - 1)^2
And now put x^n back: (x^n - 1)^2
Guessing you meant by a factor of 3... not 13 since none of the solutions are anywhere close to that.
to compress is to smoosh.
It's the equation of a line. If you smoosh it vertically the line becomes flatter and the slope smaller.
Essentially g(x) = 3f(x)
3y = 12x + 6
y = (12/3)x + 6/3
y = 4x + 2
X = 2 + √42,2- √42
decimal form: 8.480741, -4.480741
