Squaring" means to multiply a number by itself. Squaring a positive number gets a positive result: (+5) × (+5) = +25. Squaring a negative number also gets a positive result: (−5) × (−5) = +25.

Answer:

This is because to square a number just means to multiply it by itself. For example, (-2) squared is (-2)(-2) = 4. Note that this is positive because when you multiply two negative numbers you get a positive result.

F(x) = x4 - x3 - 2x- 4 factor the polynomial function over the complex numbers
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

<u>f(x) = = (x + √2 i) (x - √2 i) (x - 2 ) (x + 1)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is f(x) = x⁴ - x³ -2x -4

factor the polynomial function

f(x) = x⁴ - x³ -2x -4 = (x⁴ - 4) - (x³ + 2x )  ⇒ take (-) as a common from (- x³ -2x)

     = (x² + 2 ) (x² - 2) - x (x² + 2)   ⇒ take (x² + 2)  as a common

     = (x² + 2 ) ( x² - x - 2)

     = (x + √2 i) (x - √2 i) (x -2 ) ( x+1)

Notes:  (x⁴ - 4) = (x² + 2 ) (x² - 2)

            (x² + 2)= (x + √2 i) (x - √2 i)

            ( x² - x - 2) = (x -2 ) ( x+1)
