factor n^2+16n+64

OpenStudy (littlebird):

_x_=64 _+_=16 (x+_)(x+_)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(n+8)(n+8)=0

Use the PSF method for this case

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Product = 64 Sum=16 Factor = 8, 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

therefore = (n+8)(n+8)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n=-8

I never knew what I was doing to solve this was called the PSF method! I just learned something new. :)

well you learn something new everyday :) if all else fails with quadratics use the quadratic formula
