Question

Factorise p2-10p+25 by splitting the middle term

Answer 1

Answer:

p=5 /p=5

Step-by-step explanation:

p2-5p-5p+25=0

p(p-5)-5(p-5)=0

(p-5)(p-5)=0

p-5=0 / p-5=0

p=5 / p=5

Answer 2

Aɴsᴡᴇʀ :-

p2 – 10p + 25

Here, 5 + 5 = 10 and 5 × 5 = 25

p2 – 10p + 25

= p2 – 5p – 5p + 5 × 5

= (p2 – 5p) + (-5p + 25)

= p(p – 5) – 5(p – 5)

= (p – 5) (p – 5)

= (p – 5)2
