Problems 45, 49, 55, 59 and 65:

Factor the expressions:

22 62 xyyx xy2 yx 3

6384 23 xxx 24x 2x 3 2x

234 2 xxCan we factor 4x2+3 over the real numbers any further?

This is equivalent to asking if there are any real roots, and the descrimate tell us this!

acbD 4 Recall 2 34402 0

Consequently, there are no real roots; therefore, no factor over the reals

So we need only factor x4+x2+1This does reduce further; however, we don’t have the tools to reduce this. So we have to look at the problem in a different way.
