Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.1 Factoring 4x4-41x2+100
The first term is, 4x4 its coefficient is 4 .
The middle term is, -41x2 its coefficient is -41 .
The last term, "the constant", is +100
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 4 • 100 = 400
Step-2 : Find two factors of 400 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -41 .
-400 + -1 = -401
-200 + -2 = -202
-100 + -4 = -104
-80 + -5 = -85
-50 + -8 = -58
-40 + -10 = -50
-25 + -16 = -41 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -25 and -16
4x4 - 25x2 - 16x2 - 100
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x2 • (4x2-25)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
4 • (4x2-25)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x2-4) • (4x2-25)
Which is the desired factorization
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares:
3.2 Factoring: 4x2-25
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.
Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.
Check : 4 is the square of 2
Check : 25 is the square of 5
Check : x2 is the square of x1
Factorization is : (2x + 5) • (2x - 5)
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares:
3.3 Factoring: x2 - 4
Check : 4 is the square of 2
Check : x2 is the square of x1
Factorization is : (x + 2) • (x - 2)
Equation at the end of step

:
(2x + 5) • (2x - 5) • (x + 2) • (x - 2) = 0

Theory - Roots of a product
4.1 A product of several terms equals zero.
When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.
We shall now solve each term = 0 separately
In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product
Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
4.2 Solve : 2x+5 = 0
Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation :
2x = -5
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
x = -5/2 = -2.500
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
4.3 Solve : 2x-5 = 0
Add 5 to both sides of the equation :
2x = 5
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
x = 5/2 = 2.500
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
4.4 Solve : x+2 = 0
Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation :
x = -2
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
4.5 Solve : x-2 = 0
Add 2 to both sides of the equation :
x = 2
Supplement : Solving Quadratic Equation Directly
Solving 4x4-41x2+100 = 0 directly
Earlier we factored this polynomial by splitting the middle term. let us now solve the equation by Completing The Square and by using the Quadratic Formula
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
Equations which are reducible to quadratic :
5.1 Solve 4x4-41x2+100 = 0
This equation is reducible to quadratic. What this means is that using a new variable, we can rewrite this equation as a quadratic equation Using w , such that w = x2 transforms the equation into :
4w2-41w+100 = 0
Solving this new equation using the quadratic formula we get two real solutions :
6.2500 or 4.0000
Now that we know the value(s) of w , we can calculate x since x is √ w
Doing just this we discover that the solutions of
4x4-41x2+100 = 0
are either :
x =√ 6.250 = 2.50000 or :
x =√ 6.250 = -2.50000 or :
x =√ 4.000 = 2.00000 or :
x =√ 4.000 = -2.00000
