Question

Find each product by distributing.
(2a - 5)(a? – 2a + 1)

Answer 1

A = 1 , 1 ,
`(5)/(2)`

Explanation:

Given equation as

(2a -5) (a² -2a +1) = 0

Or, (2a - 5) (a - 1 )² = 0

Or, (2a - 5) (a - 1) (a - 1) = 0

So, value of a are :

2a - 5 =0, a - 1 =0, a- 1 = 0

i.e a =
`(5)/(2)`

and a = 1 , 1
