The polynomial expression is
.
Rewrite the expression
.
This is not a perfect square trinomial.
\The trinomial compare to general trinomial expression:
, So a = 25, b = 20, c = 4.
To find two numbers with a sum of 20 and a product of
.
This trinomial list of the factors of 100, and look for the pair of factors is a sum of 20.
\| Factors of 100 | \Sum of factors | \
| \
2, 50 \10, 10 \ | \
\
52 \20 \ | \
The correct factors are 10 and 10.
To factor trinomials of the form
, find two integers, m and n, with a sum equal to b and a product equal to c.
Then write
.

Group terms with common factors.
\
Combine like terms using distributive property: ac
bc = (a
b)c.

Check:
\To check the solution by multiply the two factors.
\Apply sum of perfect squares formula:
.



The solution is "true".
The solution is
