Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((0 - (2•32r2)) + 45r) + 8
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring -18r2+45r+8
The first term is, -18r2 its coefficient is -18 .
The middle term is, +45r its coefficient is 45 .
The last term, "the constant", is +8
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant -18 • 8 = -144
Step-2 : Find two factors of -144 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 45 .
| -144 | + | 1 | = | -143 | ||
| -72 | + | 2 | = | -70 | ||
| -48 | + | 3 | = | -45 | ||
| -36 | + | 4 | = | -32 | ||
| -24 | + | 6 | = | -18 | ||
| -18 | + | 8 | = | -10 | ||
| -16 | + | 9 | = | -7 | ||
| -12 | + | 12 | = | 0 | ||
| -9 | + | 16 | = | 7 | ||
| -8 | + | 18 | = | 10 | ||
| -6 | + | 24 | = | 18 | ||
| -4 | + | 36 | = | 32 | ||
| -3 | + | 48 | = | 45 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -3 and 48
-18r2 - 3r + 48r + 8
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
-3r • (6r+1)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
8 • (6r+1)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(-3r+8) • (6r+1)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(6r + 1) • (8 - 3r)
