resolve into factors 4y^2-2y+1/4
Answers
Answer:
Given
The first term is, 4y2 its coefficient is 4 .
The middle term is, -2y its coefficient is -2 .
The last term, "the constant", is -1
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 4 • -1 = -4
Step-2 : Find two factors of -4 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -2 .
-4 + 1 = -3
-2 + 2 = 0
-1 + 4 = 3
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Solving 4y2-2y-1 = 0 by the Quadratic Formula .
According to the Quadratic Formula, y , the solution for Ay2+By+C = 0 , where A, B and C are numbers, often called coefficients, is given by :
- B ± √ B2-4AC
y = ————————
2A
In our case, A = 4
B = -2
C = -1
Accordingly, B2 - 4AC =
4 - (-16) =
20
Applying the quadratic formula :
2 ± √ 20
y = —————
8
Can √ 20 be simplified ?
Yes! The prime factorization of 20 is
2•2•5
To be able to remove something from under the radical, there have to be 2 instances of it (because we are taking a square i.e. second root).
√ 20 = √ 2•2•5 =
± 2 • √ 5
√ 5 , rounded to 4 decimal digits, is 2.2361
So now we are looking at:
y = ( 2 ± 2 • 2.236 ) / 8
Two real solutions:
y =(2+√20)/8=(1+√ 5 )/4= 0.809
or:
y =(2-√20)/8=(1-√ 5 )/4= -0.309
Two solutions
y =(2-√20)/8=(1-√ 5 )/4= -0.309
y =(2-√20)/8=(1-√ 5 )/4= -0.309 y =(2+√20)/8=(1+√ 5 )/4= 0.809
