Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1 Factoring 4y2-12y+9

The first term is, 4y2 its coefficient is 4 .
The middle term is, -12y its coefficient is -12 .
The last term, "the constant", is +9

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 4 • 9 = 36

Step-2 : Find two factors of 36 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -12 .

-36 + -1 = -37
-18 + -2 = -20
-12 + -3 = -15
-9 + -4 = -13
-6 + -6 = -12 That's it

Step-by-step explanation:

If a linear equation is organized in the form x=[a number], we know straight away that this line is a vertical line. This form is actually $x=d$ , where $d$ is the x-intercept of the line. Vertical lines do not have a y-intercept because they are parallel to the y-axis.
