Factor 4x^2+7x-2
\n" ); document.write( "Using the AC Method of factoring:
\n" ); document.write( "Think of two numbers whose product is AC = 4*-2 = -8
\n" ); document.write( "and whose sum = B = 7
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The numbers are +8 and -1
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Rewrite the problem, substituting 8x-x in place of 7x:
\n" ); document.write( "4x^2+8x-x-2
\n" ); document.write( "Factor the 1st two and the last two terms separately to get:
\n" ); document.write( "4x(x+2)-(x+2)
\n" ); document.write( "Factor again to get the final answer:
\n" ); document.write( "(x+2)(4x-1)
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Factor 16y^2=25
\n" ); document.write( "Rewrite: 16y^2-25 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "This is the \"difference of squares\" form.
\n" ); document.write( "Factor:
\n" ); document.write( "(4y-5)(4y+5)
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Comment: You are not the 1st person to have difficulty
\n" ); document.write( "with algebra. Find a good teacher/tutor and work hard
\n" ); document.write( "and you will learn. You have to decide whether it is
\n" ); document.write( "worth the effort.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
