Show that the sum of squares x2 + 25 can be factored by adding and subtracting a particular term and following the method demonstrated in Example.
EXAMPLE Factoring by grouping
Factor:
(c) x2 – 16y2 + 10x + 25
SOLUTION
(c) First we rearrange and group terms, and then we apply the difference of two squares formula, as follows:
We need at least 10 more requests to produce the solution.
0 / 10 have requested this problem solution
The more requests, the faster the answer.
