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
Scientific notation is used to express very large or very small values.
Numbers in scientific notation are written in the form of
m × 10 to the power of n
For example:
500 is written as 5 x 10^2 where:
500 = 5 x 10 x 10
Now, let's consider 7 x 10^3:
Following the same procedure:
7 x 10^3 = 7 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 7000
The pattern can be written as:
7 x 10^3 = 7 x 10 x 10^2
= 70 x 10^2
= 70 x 10 x 10^1
= 700 x 10
= 7000
