As you can see, if your polynomial or rational function has many factors, the Factor Method can be much faster.

Answer:
Yes. For example, a hotel advertises, “Buy 4 nights, get the 5th night free.” Taking advantage of the deal, a customer purchases 5 nights for $400. Each night of the customer’s 5-night stay is subject to the fee.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: (4x + 5y)^2
Factor the expression.
52.311 is greater than 52.31 because look at 52.311 and 52.31
Answer:
83°
Step-by-step explanation:
Since angle x and angle y are supplementary angles,
x + y = 180°.
Since y = 97°
x = 180° - y = 180° - 97° = 83°
