Which expression is equivalent to x^4 - 2x^3 + x^2? x²(x - 1)²
x²(x + 1)2
ox? (x + 1)(x - 1)
6 x? (x² + 1) (x - 1)

x²(x - 1)²

Step-by-step explanation

Given the expression x^4 - 2x^3 + x^2

Factoring out the common terms;

x^2 (x^2-2x + 1)

Factorize the expression in bracket

= x^2 (x^2-2x + 1)

= x^2 (x^2-x-x + 1)

= x^2 (x(x-1)-1(x-1))

= x^2 (x-1)(x-1)

= x^2(x-1)^2

Hence the factored form of the expression is x²(x - 1)²

i just took the test, the correct answer is .. 31.5 in.

no because after the troops were pulled many blacks were killed by hangings lynchings and other cruel ways which in a way interrupted the reconstruction of the south and differed from the way abraham lincoln had an idea of reconstruction
