A rectangular sign has an area of square feet. The length of the sign is one foot more than the width. Find the length and width of the sign.
The difference of squares can be factored as But it is not completely factored. What more must be done to completely factor it?
Solve:
Pumpkin drop A fall tradition at the University of California San Diego is the Pumpkin Drop, where a pumpkin is dropped from the eleventh story of Tioga Hall.
(a) The binomial gives the height of the pumpkin t seconds after it is dropped. Factor the greatest common factor from this binomial.
(b) If the pumpkin is thrown down with initial velocity 32 feet per second, its height after t seconds is given by the trinomial Completely factor this trinomial.
Factor:
