Solution - Simplification or other simple results
(2y+5)*(5-2y)
Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
25 - 22y2
Step 2 :
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
2.1 Factoring: 25-4y2
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.
Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.
Check : 25 is the square of 5
Check : 4 is the square of 2
Check : y2 is the square of y1
Factorization is : (5 + 2y) • (5 - 2y)
Final result :
(2y + 5) • (5 - 2y)
