√49 is a rational number.
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:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of gift baskets Nikki can make varies directly with the amount of time she spends making the baskets .
Let n be the number of baskets and let t be the mount of time it takes to make the basket. This means that:
n α t
=> n = kt
where k = constant of proportionality
She can make 4 baskets in every 1/2 hour.
This means that:
4 = k * 1/2
=> k = 4 * 2 = 8 baskets per hour
The time is now 5 hours (t = 5). Therefore:
n = 8 * 5 = 40 baskets
She can make 40 baskets in 5 hours.
