Question

5a^2-26ab+5b^2 please factorise it

Answer 1

((5 • (a2)) - 26ab) + 5b2
(5a2 - 26ab) + 5b2
Trying to factor a multi variable polynomial :

3.1 Factoring 5a2 - 26ab + 5b2

Try to factor this multi-variable trinomial using trial and error

Found a factorization : (a - 5b)•(5a - b)

Final result :
(a - 5b) • (5a - b)

Hope this helps ....
