Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((0 - (22•3n2)) - 11n) + 15
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
-12n2 - 11n + 15 = -1 • (12n2 + 11n - 15)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring 12n2 + 11n - 15
The first term is, 12n2 its coefficient is 12 .
The middle term is, +11n its coefficient is 11 .
The last term, "the constant", is -15
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 12 • -15 = -180
Step-2 : Find two factors of -180 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 11 .
| -180 | + | 1 | = | -179 | ||
| -90 | + | 2 | = | -88 | ||
| -60 | + | 3 | = | -57 | ||
| -45 | + | 4 | = | -41 | ||
| -36 | + | 5 | = | -31 | ||
| -30 | + | 6 | = | -24 | ||
| -20 | + | 9 | = | -11 | ||
| -18 | + | 10 | = | -8 | ||
| -15 | + | 12 | = | -3 | ||
| -12 | + | 15 | = | 3 | ||
| -10 | + | 18 | = | 8 | ||
| -9 | + | 20 | = | 11 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -9 and 20
12n2 - 9n + 20n - 15
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
3n • (4n-3)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
5 • (4n-3)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(3n+5) • (4n-3)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(3 - 4n) • (3n + 5)
