Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((0 - (2•5h2)) + 82h) - 16
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
-10h2 + 82h - 16 = -2 • (5h2 - 41h + 8)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring 5h2 - 41h + 8
The first term is, 5h2 its coefficient is 5 .
The middle term is, -41h its coefficient is -41 .
The last term, "the constant", is +8
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 5 • 8 = 40
Step-2 : Find two factors of 40 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -41 .
| -40 | + | -1 | = | -41 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -40 and -1
5h2 - 40h - 1h - 8
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
5h • (h-8)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (h-8)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(5h-1) • (h-8)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
-2 • (h - 8) • (5h - 1)
