I’m not too sure on this one
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
Answer:
22
Step-by-step explanation:
it is epuivalet
As shown in the figures given :
For Figure 1 : perimeter = 8 units [As can be seen in the figure]
For figure 2(with 2 octagons) : perimeter = 8 × 2 - 1 = 15 units [since 1 side is common ]
For figure 2(with 3 octagons) : perimeter = 8 × 3 - 2 = 22 units [since 2 sides is common ]
If one more octagon is added
then perimeter = 8 × 4 - 3 = 29 units [since 3 sides will be common ]
