Factoring perfect square trinomials

Factoring perfect square trinomials

Remember that a2 − 2ab + b2 = a2 + -2ab + b2 because a minus is the same thing as adding the negative ( − = + -) So, a2 − 2ab + b2 is also equal to (a − b)2

Im Dong-hyun Sets World Record At London Olympics: Blind South Korean Archer Breaks 72-Arrow Mark

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/27/im-dong-hyun-olympics-world-record-archery_n_1709248.html

LONDON -- South Korean archer Im Dong-hyun sees only blurred colors and lines when he peers toward the target about 76 yards away, arrow at the ready. It doesn't stop the legally blind Olympian from hitting the grapefruit-sized yellow center – again and again and again.

Im set the first world record of the London Olympics on Friday, breaking his own mark in the 72-arrow event and helping South Korea set a team record in the opening round. He broke the record he set in Turkey in May by three points with a score of 699, hours before the opening ceremony of the 2012 Games.

German teen solves 300-year-old mathematical riddle posed by Sir Isaac Newton | Fox News

German teen solves 300-year-old mathematical riddle posed by Sir Isaac Newton | Fox News

Shouryya Ray worked out how to calculate exactly the path of a projectile under gravity and subject to air resistance, The (London) Sunday Times reported. The Indian-born teen said he solved the problem that had stumped mathematicians for centuries while working on a school project. Ray won a research award for his efforts and has been labeled a genius by the German media, but he put it down to "curiosity and schoolboy naivety." "When it was explained to us that the problems had no solutions, I thought to myself, 'well, there's no harm in trying,'" he said. Ray's family moved to Germany when he was 12 after his engineer father got a job at a technical college. He said his father instilled in him a "hunger for mathematics" and taught him calculus at the age of six.
