hey idk how to do this

[unborn agate]

It’s confusing and I’m not sure how to do it on paper.

[bronze condor]

This is not confusing

This is of the form a^2-2ab+b^2

And the formula tells you
a^2-2ab+b^2 can be factored into (a-b)^2

All you need to do is to guess what a and b could be

So basically, if $a^2=16p^2$ what could a be ?

[unborn agate]

Gimme a sec lemme think

4?

[bronze condor]

If a = 4
Then a^2=4 * 4 = 16

But we need p^2 also

[unborn agate]

Does variable P^2 multiply with 16?

[bronze condor]

You can choose a as you wish

The only rule of the game

Is that a^2 must be 16p^2

a = 4 alone doesnt work

[unborn agate]

tru

[bronze condor]

Because 4^2 is not 16p^2

[unborn agate]

Lemme write it down what I’m kinda getting here and lmk if I’m just stupid

[bronze condor]

I dont want to hear this word ever

Its actually really simple

Do you understand what I asked ?

[unborn agate]

Not really

[bronze condor]

You need to write
$16p^2 = (Hahaha) \times (Hahaha)$
Where the two Hahaha are equal

[agile valve]

Daddy_314

[bronze condor]

If you take Hahaha = 4,
You get 16

So we neee to take another Hahaha

Do I sound crazy

Or do you get it

Maybe both

[unborn agate]

Question

You happen to have paper?

[bronze condor]

Right now I dont

I have to go soon also

[unborn agate]

True

Do I have to pull out GCF in the equation? (Q)?

[bronze condor]

Nope

[unborn agate]

Oh wait no I’m trippin

They don’t all have it

[bronze condor]

No youre not

Gcf is a tool

Here we are using another tool

To factor

But both are good

What happens if

[unborn agate]

So like this is the equation you was talking about earlier I think

[bronze condor]

I take $a = 4p$

[agile valve]

Daddy_314

[bronze condor]

What would $a^2$ be?

[agile valve]

Daddy_314

[unborn agate]

2?

[bronze condor]

Okay... Theres a severe problem then

What does the 2 mean ?

[unborn agate]

a^2=4?

[bronze condor]

a^2 means a multiplied by a

If a = 4p

Then a^2 is (4p) multiplied by (4p)

[unborn agate]

Oh

16p^2?

[bronze condor]

Yes but

Now

I have become aware

That you have deep confusions

In the basics

Which means

You need to do some revisions

[unborn agate]

tru

[bronze condor]

Of basic operations

Otherwise you will suffer

Forever

[unborn agate]

Yea

my fault og
