Is 7x² 2x 1 a prime trinomial?

Answer 1

The expression (7x^2 + 2x + 1) is not a prime trinomial because it can be factored. To determine if it's prime, we can check for factors of the form ((ax + b)(cx + d)). In this case, it does not factor neatly into integers, but it can be analyzed further. In conclusion, while it may not have simple integer factors, it is not prime in the algebraic sense as it cannot be simplified into a product of polynomials.
