give possible expressions for the length and breadth of the rectangle whose area is given by (1) 4a²+4a-3. (2) 25a²-53a+12
Answers
1) 4a^2+4a-3.
Solution:
4a^2+6a-2a-3
2a(2a+3)-1(2a+3)
(2a-1)(2a+3)
I know only 1) hope it helps.
But u can do it like 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
hi mate,
solution:
Factoring 4a²+4a-3
4a² - 2a + 6a - 3
Step-1 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
2a • (2a-1)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (2a-1)
Step-2 : Add up the four terms of step 1 :
(2a+3) • (2a-1)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(2a - 1) • (2a + 3)
length = (2a - 1) and breadth = (2a + 3)
or a = 1/2 and a = 3/2
and
Factoring 25a²-35a+12
25a² - 20a - 15a - 12
Step-1 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
5a • (5a-4)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (5a-4)
Step-2 : Add up the four terms of step 1 :
(5a-3) • (5a-4)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(5a - 4) • (5a - 3)
length = (5a - 4) and breadth = (5a - 3)
or a = 4/5 and a = 3/5
i hope it helps you.
