Question:

Can someone show me how to factor this general quadratic equation?

The equation is: Ax^2 + Bx + ((B^2)/4)

I need to factor it, so that its in the form: (c + d)^2

but I'm not sure how to do that.

  1. Ax^2 + Bx + ((B^2)/4)

    find the factors using quad .formula

    x= -B +- sqrt(B^2 -AB^2) / 2A

    x= -B + - Bsqrt(1-A) / 2A

    x= B[ -1+ - sqrt(1-A)] / 2A

    so , the factors of above equation will be

    ={x- B[ -1+  sqrt(1-A)] / 2A} {x+B[ 1+ sqrt(1-A)] / 2A}

    it cannot be a whole square.


  2. (ax +b/2)^2

    lets test it (ax +b/2)*(ax +b/2) = a^2 x^2 + abx/2 + abx/2 + b^2 /4

    = a^2 x^2 + abx + b^2 /4



    i think u typed it in wrong?????
