Question

Factorise the following 2 a - 1/4a^2​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a/4)(a -8)

There's 1/4  so I decided to take it out first then I do the normal Factorising...

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$2a - \frac{1}{4}a^{2}$

$(\sqrt{2a^{} }) ^{2} - (\frac{a}{2})^2$

$(\sqrt{2a}+\frac{a}{2})(\sqrt{2a}-\frac{a}{2})$
