Question 8434: Ok, some of these types of problems, for example , I understand, but in , I don't get it. I know you're supposed to factor out the GCF, but I'm lost. Help would be very appreciated. Found 2 solutions by drglass, khwang:Answer by drglass(89) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Factor out 2a. This will give you
If you are looking for then this factorization tells us that a = 0 and a = 1/2 are solutions.
