Question

factor completely. 25h^2 + 50h + 16

Answer 1

try
\[(5h+4)^2\] and see if it works

Answer 2

write it like this (5h + 4)(5h + 4)

Answer 3

yes and then multiply out. i bet it will work

Answer 4

all right thank you

Answer 5

yw

Answer 6

it is not a perfect square trinomial since 2(5)(4)=40 not 50

Answer 7

well how do you like that? dang

Answer 8

ur right mandolino i just noticed that what do i do

Answer 9

in that case i guess you have to resort to "factor by grouping"

Answer 10

can u show how to do it plz

Answer 11

but there are factors of 25*16=400 that sum to 50, namely 40+10, so you may rewrite 50h as 40h + 10h and factor by grouping (or use a trial and error method)\[25h^2+40h+10h+16\]\[=5h(5h+8)+2(5h+8)\]factor out the binomial as a GCF\[=(5h+8)(5h+2)\]this is the factored form

Answer 12

sure, but first the correct answer is
\[(5h+2)(5h+8)\]

Answer 13

mandolino has it! that is the method

Answer 14

great thank you so much satellite
