Answer:
b² +5b + 4 = 0
b² + 5b -41= 5.702
3
Explanation:
1.1 Factoring b2+5b-4
The first term is, b2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +5b its coefficient is 5 .
The last term, "the constant", is -4
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -4 = -4
Step-2 : Find two factors of -4 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 5 .
-4 + 1 = -3 -2 + 2 = 0 -1 + 4 = 3
