mcoy Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 hi people.. i got a simle question in algebra i can't figure out.... you know about factorizng algebraic equations right? e.g. (XX-YY) = (X+Y)(X-Y) (XX+2XY+YY) = (XX+YY)(XX+YY) you know, basic stuff.... but there's one algrbraic expression i can't factorize.... (XX+YY) please help... Note that double character means squared, e.g. XX = X*X or X (squared)
bloodhound Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 did u think of the possibility that you can't factorise [math]x^2 + y^2[/math] anymore
mcoy Posted February 21, 2005 Author Posted February 21, 2005 well my 3 untis maths teacher told me that you can.... but as far as i'm concerned the 4 units maths people can do it, am not 1 of em.
bloodhound Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 Well, as far as I know, its not possible.
