16x^2+12x+9
Step by Step Solution
Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "x2" was replaced by "x^2".
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(24x2 + 12x) + 9
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 16x2+12x+9
The first term is, 16x2 its coefficient is 16 .
The middle term is, +12x its coefficient is 12 .
The last term, "the constant", is +9
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 16 • 9 = 144
Step-2 : Find two factors of 144 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 12 .
| -144 | + | -1 | = | -145 | ||
| -72 | + | -2 | = | -74 | ||
| -48 | + | -3 | = | -51 | ||
| -36 | + | -4 | = | -40 | ||
| -24 | + | -6 | = | -30 | ||
| -18 | + | -8 | = | -26 |
For tidiness, printing of 24 lines which failed to find two such factors, was suppressed
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Final result :
16x2 + 12x + 9
