Q i m^2+2m-5/4 factorize
Qii p^2-5p+9/4
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
Factoring m2-2m+5
The first term is, m2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -2m its coefficient is -2 .
The last term, "the constant", is +5
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 5 = 5
Step-2 : Find two factors of 5 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -2 .
-5 + -1 = -6
-1 + -5 = -6
1 + 5 = 6
5 + 1 = 6
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Equation at the end of step 1 :
m2 - 2m + 5 = 0
