Q. \(\,x^2 + x\,\)
Answer
We factor the polynomial \(x^2+x\) by taking out the greatest common factor \(x\):
\[
x^2+x=x(x+1)
\]
Final result: \(x(x+1)\)
Detailed Explanation
We want to simplify the expression \(x^2 + x\) (often written as a polynomial expression). A common and useful thing to do with a quadratic like this is to factor it, if possible.
Step 1: Identify common factors.
The expression is \(x^2 + x\). Both terms contain \(x\) as a factor.
So we can take out the greatest common factor \(x\):
\[
x^2 + x = x(x + 1)
\]
Step 2: Write the factored form.
After factoring, the expression becomes:
\[
x^2 + x = x(x + 1)
\]
Final Answer:
\[
x^2 + x = x(x + 1)
\]
