216 as when 2 there is 6x6 but when there’s 3 it’s 6x6x6 which is 216
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 6 • -10 = -60
Step-2 : Find two factors of -60 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -11 .
-60 + 1 = -59
-30 + 2 = -28
-20 + 3 = -17
-15 + 4 = -11 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -15 and 4
6n2 - 15n + 4n - 10
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
3n • (2n-5)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (2n-5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(3n+2) • (2n-5)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(2n - 5) • (3n + 2)
if a whole number, put the number above a one like so : if the number was 8, write it as 8/1
multiply the number by the reciprocal of the fraction
example: 8 divided by 1/3
8/1 times 3/1 =24/1
=24
Would use the algorithm for solving square root.
For square root, √n
x₁ = 0.5(x₀ + n/x₀)
(This formula is known and for square root, and can be derived using Newton-Raphson's approximation equation)
Where x₀ is the initial guess. x₁ becomes the new guess.
For √100.6 let our initial guess be 10, x₀ = 10, n = 100.6
Our approximation shall be to 3 decimal places. Once we get the same answer twice we stop the algorithm.
x₀ = 10, x₁ = 0.5(x₀ + n/x₀), x₁ = 0.5(10 + 100.6/10) = 10.030, x₁ = 10.030
x₂ = 0.5(x₁ + n/x₁), x = 0.5(10.030 + 100.6/10.030) ≈10.015, x₂ ≈ 10.030 (to 3 decimal places)
Since x₂≈ x₁, the algorithm stops.
So the √100.6 is ≈ 10.030 to 3 decimal places.
I hope this helps.
