I’m pretty sure that the one you marked is correct
Answer: (2x+5)(2x−5)
Step-by-step explanation:For me, what i like to do is to try divide the problem into two parts. For example in this problem, you would divide the 4x^2 into two 4x(since 4x+4x = 4x^2). Then 25 can be divide into into 5s (5x5=25). SInce you know that its a negative 25, you know that it has to be a negative on one of the sides. So the answer in factor form is (2x+5)(2x−5)
Answer:
X=9 and X=5
Step-by-step explanation:
So you want to get one side to equal zero so you can factor and find x. I recommend subtracting 14x and adding 45 to both sides so you don't have to deal with a negative quadratic.
X^2 - 14X +45 = 0
Now you can factor. Your looking for two factors that equal 45 and add to -14
All factors of 45:
1 and 45, 3 and 15, 5 and 9, -1 and -45,
-3 and -15, -5 and -9
So out of those combinations -5 and -9 both multiply to 45 and add up to -14 so these are our common factors
(X-5)(X-9)=0
X-5=0 add 5 to both sides X=5
X-9=0 add 9 to both sides X=9
15x=180
x=12
hope this helps
