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:
x=2.5 or x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
factorisation= factors:1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20 (only the positive factors)
We will use the factors 4 and 5.
=(2x-5)(x+4)=0
2x-5=0 || x+4=0
2x=+5 || x=-4
x=2.5 or x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:
6% or 0.06 is the simple interest rate the bank pays him.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Sir Ving Spoon earned $5,436 on his $7,550 certificate of deposit.
From this given information,
It can be determined that the Principal amount is $7550 and the interest amount is $5436.
The CD is for 12 years. Therefore, the number of years is 12.
<u>To find the interest rate (r) :</u>
Using the simple interest formula,
Interest = P×r×t
where,
- P is the principal amount = $7550
- r is the rate of interest.
- t is the number of years = 12
⇒ 5436 = 7550 × r × 12
⇒ 5436 = 90600 × r
⇒ r = 5436 / 90600
⇒ r = 0.06
Multiply by 100 to represent in rate %
⇒ r = 0.06 × 100
⇒ r = 6%
∴ 6% or 0.06 is the simple interest rate the bank pays him.
