Question

find the factors of p sq -10 p +25​

Answer 1

Answer:

5 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial -

• p² - 10p + 25

We can find the factors of the given quadratic polynomial by splitting its middle term. To split its middle term, we need two numbers such that their sum is (-10) and product is 25. Such two numbers can be (-5, - 5).

Here we go ;

⇒ p² - 10p + 25

⇒ p² - 5p - 5p + 25

⇒ p ( p - 5 ) - 5 ( p - 5 )

⇒ ( p - 5 ) ( p - 5 )

Now,

⇒ p = 5 or p = 5.

Hence, the factors are 5 and 5.
