Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((0 - (23•3x2)) + 20x) + 100
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
-24x2 + 20x + 100 = -4 • (6x2 - 5x - 25)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring 6x2 - 5x - 25
The first term is, 6x2 its coefficient is 6 .
The middle term is, -5x its coefficient is -5 .
The last term, "the constant", is -25
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 6 • -25 = -150
Step-2 : Find two factors of -150 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -5 .
| -150 | + | 1 | = | -149 | ||
| -75 | + | 2 | = | -73 | ||
| -50 | + | 3 | = | -47 | ||
| -30 | + | 5 | = | -25 | ||
| -25 | + | 6 | = | -19 | ||
| -15 | + | 10 | = | -5 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -15 and 10
6x2 - 15x + 10x - 25
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
3x • (2x-5)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
5 • (2x-5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(3x+5) • (2x-5)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
-4 • (2x - 5) • (3x + 5)
