\n" );
document.write( "Hi\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "-4n^4 + 40n^3 - 100n^2 
\n" );
document.write( "-4n^2 (n^2 - 10n + 25)   |good work with this
\n" );
document.write( "-4n^2 (n-5)(n-5)    |to complete, the quadratic expression can be factored     
\n" );
document.write( "Note:SUM of the inner product(-5n) and the outer product(-5n) = -10n
\n" );
document.write( "Finaly, can be written
\n" );
document.write( "-4n^2 (n-5)^2  \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
