Question

Explain how to conclude that x^2 - 59x + 6 is a prime polynomial without performing any trials.

Answer 1

I recall Damian answering that same question for you before.
Do you not go back to check on your previous posts?

He found the discriminant value of the the quadratic equation formula, and it did not come out as a perfect square, so it won't factor.

You could also just look at it, and see that in order for this to factor, we would need two rational number that
have a product of 6
and a sum of -59

not very likely, you thing?

Answer 2

I looked back just now and did not see any answer by Damian before... so it must have been someone else who asked the same question or somehow I missed it.

Thanks for your help.
