Step-by-step explanation:
let's simply do the multiplications and then compare with the original.
(x-m)² + n
right ?
or is it
let's go for the first.
x² - 2mx + m² + n = x² - 3x
-2mx + m² + n = -3x
fun there we see two things :
-2m = -3
m = 3/2
and
m² + n = 0
(3/2)² = -n
9/4 = -n
n = -9/4
so our transformed expression looks like
(x - 3/2)² - 9/4
Sophie has factored the term completely while Carlos has not factored the term completely.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to factor the trinomial:
Factoring:
So, the factored form of is
So, Sophie has factored the term completely. The terms are factored when we cannot further simplify it. Since Carlos factored (x+3)(-4x+2) 2 can be taken common from the term (-4x+2) so, it is not factored completely.
