Pulling out like terms
3.1 Pull out like factors :
-10x2 - 10x + 1 = -1 • (10x2 + 10x - 1)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring 10x2 + 10x - 1
The first term is, 10x2 its coefficient is 10 .
The middle term is, +10x its coefficient is 10 .
The last term, "the constant", is -1
Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard equation of a quadratic equation is :
ax²+bx+c = 0
On comparing , a =10 , b = 10 , c = 1
Discriminant = b²- 4ac
Therefore discriminant = 10²- 4(10)(1)
= 100 - 40 = 60
