These are really hard. I keep getting stuck :(
1) (z-5)(z+7)+(z-5)(z+10)
2) 2(t-s)+4(t-s)^2-(t-s)^3
1) (z-5)(z+7)+(z-5)(z+10)
2) 2(t-s)+4(t-s)^2-(t-s)^3
-
1. The two terms have a common factor of z-5, so combine them.
(z-5)[(z+7) + (z+10)]
(z-5)(2z+17)
2. Factor out -(t-s) and rewrite in descending order.
-(t-s)[(t-s)^2 - 4(t-s) - 2]
(z-5)[(z+7) + (z+10)]
(z-5)(2z+17)
2. Factor out -(t-s) and rewrite in descending order.
-(t-s)[(t-s)^2 - 4(t-s) - 2]

1) ( z-5) ( z +7 + z +10)
( z-5) ( 2z + 17) ANSWER
2) Let (t-s) be = a
2a + 4a^2 - a^3
a ( 2 + 4a - a^2)
-a ( a^2 -4a - 2)
(s-t) ( (t-s)^2 - 4( t-s) - 2) )
ANSWER
( z-5) ( 2z + 17) ANSWER
2) Let (t-s) be = a
2a + 4a^2 - a^3
a ( 2 + 4a - a^2)
-a ( a^2 -4a - 2)
(s-t) ( (t-s)^2 - 4( t-s) - 2) )
