Question

Factoring
4s-4s^2=1

Answer 1

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4s−4s2=1

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−4s2+4s=1

Step 2: Subtract 1 from both sides.

−4s2+4s−1=1−1

−4s2+4s−1=0

Step 3: Factor left side of equation.

(−2s+1)(2s−1)=0

Step 4: Set factors equal to 0.

−2s+1=0 or 2s−1=0

s = 1/2

Answer 2

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4s−4s2=1

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−4s2+4s=1

Step 2: Subtract 1 from both sides.

−4s2+4s−1=1−1

−4s2+4s−1=0

Step 3: Factor left side of equation.

(−2s+1)(2s−1)=0

Step 4: Set factors equal to 0.

−2s+1=0 or 2s−1=0

s = 1/2
