The polynomial is actually:
P(x)=x2+8x2-9
so what i'd first do is factor 9 and that was going to give me 3*3, but then i thought how is the factor of nine the product of 8 or in this case how is the factor of eight 4,2 or those this mean that you have to find the relation between these values by adding 4,2,and 8. I'm not so good at factoring btw :?
No, it doesn't give just 3*3. 9 can be factored as 3*3 or 1*9. -9 can be factored as 3*-3 or -1*9 or 1*-9.The polynomial is actually:
