So, f[x] = 1/4x^2 - 1/2Ln(x)
<span>thus f'[x] = 1/4*2x - 1/2*(1/x) = x/2 - 1/2x </span>
<span>thus f'[x]^2 = (x^2)/4 - 2*(x/2)*(1/2x) + 1/(4x^2) = (x^2)/4 - 1/2 + 1/(4x^2) </span>
<span>thus f'[x]^2 + 1 = (x^2)/4 + 1/2 + 1/(4x^2) = (x/2 + 1/2x)^2 </span>
<span>thus Sqrt[...] = (x/2 + 1/2x) </span>
Your factored answer will be
(3x-4y) (x-5y)
hope this helps
You can use the quadratic formula with it which will be easier
or simple factoring
it will be (5x-11)(7x+4)
