Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.1 Factoring x2-100x+1600
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -100x its coefficient is -100 .
The last term, "the constant", is +1600
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 1600 = 1600
Step-2 : Find two factors of 1600 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -100 .
-1600 + -1 = -1601
-800 + -2 = -802
-400 + -4 = -404
-320 + -5 = -325
-200 + -8 = -208
-160 + -10 = -170
-100 + -16 = -116
-80 + -20 = -100 That's it
