factor a^2-1/4

Solution

factor

a^{2} - \frac{1}{4}

Solution

(a + \frac{1}{2}) (a - \frac{1}{2})

Solution steps

a^{2} - \frac{1}{4}

Factor

\frac{1}{4} : (\frac{1}{2})^{2}

= a^{2} - (\frac{1}{2})^{2}

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

x^{2} - y^{2} = (x + y) (x - y)

a^{2} - (\frac{1}{2})^{2} = (a + \frac{1}{2}) (a - \frac{1}{2})

= (a + \frac{1}{2}) (a - \frac{1}{2})
