Writing Polynomial Functions from Complex Roots

Question 1 • AZ-Common Core Algebra II A

Factor x3 + 2x2 + x completely.

Answer
A
(x + 1)2
B
x(x2 + 1)
C
x(x + 1)2

Explanation

Factor out the common factor x: x³ + 2x² + x = x(x² + 2x + 1). The trinomial is a perfect square because x² + 2x + 1 = (x + 1)², so the complete factorization is x(x + 1)², choice C.
