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:

Before using the quadratic, make sure the right side is equal to 0. Check.

The quadratic formula gives the solution for an equation ,

which is .

In this case, our "a" value can be considered 1, b = -4, and c = 4.

Let's plug these values into the quadratic formula.

Another easy way to solve would be by factoring.

We would find two numbers that add to b and mutliply to equal ac.

Split our bx term into these two values

Factor and simplify.

(These numbers would be -2 and -2. Then we'd get

b² - 2b - 2b + 4. Factor the first two terms...

b(b-2) - 2b + 4. Factor the last two so that you get the same thing in the ()'s

b(b-2) -2(b-2) Combine like terms.

(b-2)(b-2) or (b-2)² is our factored form.

This is going to be equal to zero, so (b-2)² = 0.

We then look at our factors and note that any number which can cause it to equal zero is correct. Both factors are (b-2). In that case, b=2.

There's also a lot of shortcuts you could've done there such as taking the two numbers you got (say, m and n) and putting them directly into (x+n)(x+m) whenever your a value is 1.)

Step-by-step explanation:

ololo11 [35]

Answer: b) Large blue t-shirt & Medium RC jeans

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The subscript numbers attached to the matrix letter represents the:

ROW, COLUMN

A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a_{1,1}&a_{1, 2}&a_{1, 3}\\a_{2,1}&a_{2, 2}&a_{2, 3}\\a_{3,1}&a_{3, 2}&a_{3, 3}\end{array}\right] \qquad B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a_{1,1}&b_{1, 2}&b_{1, 3}\\b_{2,1}&b_{2, 2}&b_{2, 3}\\b_{3,1}&b_{3, 2}&b_{3, 3}\end{array}\right]\\

A₁,₃ = 1st row, 3rd column

         1st row is Blue, 3rd column is Large

B₃,₂ = 3rd row, 2nd column

         3rd row is RC jeans, 2nd column is Medium

A₁,₃ + B₃,₂ = Large blue t-shirt & Medium RC jeans

The diameter of a circle has endpoints (–3, –10) and (4, –6). What is the equation of the circle?
fredd [130]

Answer:

The center of the circle is midpoint of the diameter:

The radius is equal the distance between C and Q:

An equation of a circle:

(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²

(a; b) - a coordinates of a center

r - a radius

r = √65; (-3; 2) ⇒ a = -3 and b = 2

subtitute

(x - (-3))² + (y - 2)² = (√65)²

Answer:

the center: (-3; 2)

the radius: √65

the equation of the circle: (x + 3)² + (y - 2)² = 65
