What is the greatest common factor of 5ab and 56b squared?
The GCF of 5ab and 56b squared is b.
What is 5ab squared?
Well, darling, 5ab squared is simply 5 times a times b squared. It's like saying you've got 5 apples and 2 of them are squared - simple math, really. So, the answer is 5ab squared, no need to overcomplicate things, honey.
Does 2a plus 3b equal 5ab?
No. 2a is one thing, 3b is another. If you add them together, they become 2a + 3b. 5ab indicates that multiplication has taken place. 5 times a times b = 5ab
Which is a factor of 6a2 plus 5ab - 6b2?
Considering the minus sign between 5ab and 6b2 then we have the polynomial as 6a2 + 5ab - 6b2. The polynomial is a quadratic polynomial.Steps to factorize a quadratic polynomial:1 - Multiply first term by third term. 6a2 x (-6b2) = -36a2b22 - If possible break the second term into two terms such that they multiple to -36a2b2. If not then it is factorized by Sridharacharya's formula.5ab can be broken as 9ab + (-4ab).These two terms multiply to give -36a2b2.So we can write 6a2 + 5ab - 6b2 = 6a2 + 9ab + (-4ab) - 6b2.6a2 + 9ab - 4ab - 6b2 = 3a(2a + 3b) - 2b(2a + 3b) = (2a + 3b)(3a - 2b).So the factors are (2a + 3b) and (3a - 2b).
What do you in a combine like term?
You add the coefficients, i.e., the numbers. For example, 3ab + 2ab = 5ab.
