If I have 3 numbers, written like this:
\(x\times x,x\times x +1,x\times x+2\)
can this be factorised?. Melody, you answered a question a little while back, but your answer in q1, cannot be factorised. So I am just wondering incase...
If the first number in a number line is x^2, and the second number is x^2+1, and the third number is X^2+2, then CALCULATE the sum in terms of "x".
\(\begin{array}{lrcll} \text{sum of } & ~ x^2 ,x^2 +1,x^2+2 ~\text{ is } ~3x^2 + 3 \\ \text{factored i asume} & ~ 3(x^2 + 1) \end{array}\)
