Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
Factoring <span> b2-4b+4</span>
The first term is, <span> <span>b2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 1 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -4b </span> its coefficient is <span> -4 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> +4 </span>
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span> 1 • 4 = 4</span>
Step-2 : Find two factors of 4 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is <span> -4 </span>.
<span><span> </span></span>
<span><span>-4 + -1 = -5</span><span> -2 + -2 = -4 That's it</span></span>
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -2 and -2
<span>b2 - 2b</span> - 2b - 4
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
b • (b-2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (b-2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(b-2) • (b-2)
Which is the desired factorization
Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees more than the other, you can formulate an equation 180=(100+x)+x80=2x so, x=40 the other angle is 100 degrees more. So, the angle lengths are 40 and 140 degrees.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
p ----> the price of a watermelon in dollars
w ---> the weight of a watermelon in pounds
In this problem we have a proportional relationship
Remember that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form 
or 
In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin
In this problem
The value of the constant of proportionality k is the same that the unit rate
Find out the unit rate
Divide the total cost by the total weight
substitute in the equation
