Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((0 - 23h2) - 13h) + 6
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
-8h2 - 13h + 6 = -1 • (8h2 + 13h - 6)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring 8h2 + 13h - 6
The first term is, 8h2 its coefficient is 8 .
The middle term is, +13h its coefficient is 13 .
The last term, "the constant", is -6
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 8 • -6 = -48
Step-2 : Find two factors of -48 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 13 .
| -48 | + | 1 | = | -47 | ||
| -24 | + | 2 | = | -22 | ||
| -16 | + | 3 | = | -13 | ||
| -12 | + | 4 | = | -8 | ||
| -8 | + | 6 | = | -2 | ||
| -6 | + | 8 | = | 2 | ||
| -4 | + | 12 | = | 8 | ||
| -3 | + | 16 | = | 13 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -3 and 16
8h2 - 3h + 16h - 6
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
h • (8h-3)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (8h-3)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(h+2) • (8h-3)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(3 - 8h) • (h + 2)
