Factor Completely. V^2+64-16v?

Question

Type N if the trinomial is not factorable.

Answer 1

Write terms in descending order of the exponents of the variables when you write a polynomial, or reorder the terms if you are given the problem in the improper order.

v^2 - 16v + 64 is a special kind of polynomial.  It is a perfect square trinomial.  You should look in your book to learn about special products/factors for polynomials (in this case, trinomial)

The factorization is:  (x - 8)(x - 8)

Can you multiply those two binomials to check  ?

Answer 2

= (v - 8)^2
