(X2-x+1)(x2+x+1)

I know the answer, I just don’t know how to get to it

#

You know it should be two quadratic expressions

amber current Apr 10, 2023, 10:58 PM

#

Yes

#

First term should be x2 and x2

#

Last term can be both 1 or both —

#

OH YEAH

#

-1

#

Middle twrms can be found by expanding

#

how do I know if there’s a negative in the middle term?

#

is it because it has to be subtracted so it doesn’t turn into 2 of x^2s?
