Question

I just need the factors.
8p^2 + 40pq + 50pq^2

Answer 1

2 can go into these numbers for sure...

Answer 2

2p(4p+25q^2+20q)

Answer 3

yeah - always take out the GCF before factoring , as anhhuyalex did above.


8p^2 + 40pq + 50pq^2
=2p( 4p + 20q + 25q^2 )
=2p( 25q^2 + 20q + 4p )

Factor this (and dont forget that what you get needs to be multiplied by that 2p):
25q^2 + 20q + 4p

Answer 4

Factors = 2, 50

Answer 5

the factors should add up to 20

Answer 6

2, 10

Answer 7

multiplying the numbers should give 100
adding them should give 20

Answer 8

10, 10

Answer 9

yes...
but something is messed up a bit because of that "p" we have here ..

Answer 10

OK -

Are you sure this is the original question:
8p^2 + 40pq + 50pq^2


Are you sure this is the original question - coz I suspect it might be this:
8p^2 + 40pq + 50q^2

?

Answer 11

bit of copy-paste snafoo above - but it should be clear :)

Answer 12

The original equation is as follows. 8p^2 + 40pq + 50q^2

Answer 13

OK makes sense now :)
That's not what was posted earlier ... phew ...

Answer 14

oh-no... I wrote the 1 at the beginning of the question wrong.

Answer 15

OK - so we need to factor the trinomial inside the brackets below:

2( 4p^2 + 20pq + 25q^2 )

Answer 16

10, 10

Answer 17

notice, we have:
a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2

Answer 18

I see it now - It's a Perfect Square. So i need to square root it...
