Identify Common Factors: Identify the polynomial and look for common factors.We have the polynomial 4c4+11c2n6−15n12. We need to check if there is any common factor that can be factored out from all terms. In this case, there is no common factor across all terms.
Recognize Quadratic Form: Recognize the polynomial as a quadratic in form. The polynomial can be seen as a quadratic in terms of c2, where c2 is the variable and n6 is a constant. The polynomial then takes the form of Ac4+Bc2+C, where A=4, B=11n6, and C=−15n12.
Apply Quadratic Formula: Apply the quadratic formula to factor the polynomial.The quadratic formula for factoringAx2+Bx+C is based on finding two numbers that multiply to A⋅C and add up to B. In this case, we need to find two numbers that multiply to (4)(−15n12)=−60n12 and add up to 11n6.
Find Suitable Numbers: Find two numbers that satisfy the conditions.We are looking for two numbers that multiply to −60n12 and add up to 11n6. These numbers are 20n6 and −3n6. We can check this by multiplying and adding them:(20n6)(−3n6)=−60n12 and 20n6−3n6=17n6, which does not add up to 11n6. There is a mistake here.
