Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((0 - 2t2) + 13t) - 15
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
-2t2 + 13t - 15 = -1 • (2t2 - 13t + 15)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring 2t2 - 13t + 15
The first term is, 2t2 its coefficient is 2 .
The middle term is, -13t its coefficient is -13 .
The last term, "the constant", is +15
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • 15 = 30
Step-2 : Find two factors of 30 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -13 .
| -30 | + | -1 | = | -31 | ||
| -15 | + | -2 | = | -17 | ||
| -10 | + | -3 | = | -13 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -10 and -3
2t2 - 10t - 3t - 15
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
2t • (t-5)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (t-5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(2t-3) • (t-5)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(5 - t) • (2t - 3)
