How do you factor a plus b quantity squared minus 100?

Answer 1

x2 + 100 has no real solutions. Applying the quadratic formula, we find two imaginary solutions: Zero plus or minus 10itimes the square root of 1.

x = 10i
x = -10i

where i is the square root of negative 1.

Answer 2

That doesn't factor neatly. Applying the quadratic formula, we find two imaginary solutions: (-1 plus or minus the square root of -31) divided by 2.

x = -0.5 + 2.7838821814150108i

x = -0.5 - 2.7838821814150108i

where i is the square root of negative one.

Answer 3

(a + b)2 - 100 = (a + b + 10)(a + b - 10).

Answer 4

x2 + 150 cannot be factored.

Answer 5

x=50
