Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((2•5w2) - 19w) - 15
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 10w2-19w-15
The first term is, 10w2 its coefficient is 10 .
The middle term is, -19w its coefficient is -19 .
The last term, "the constant", is -15
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 10 • -15 = -150
Step-2 : Find two factors of -150 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -19 .
| -150 | + | 1 | = | -149 | ||
| -75 | + | 2 | = | -73 | ||
| -50 | + | 3 | = | -47 | ||
| -30 | + | 5 | = | -25 | ||
| -25 | + | 6 | = | -19 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -25 and 6
10w2 - 25w + 6w - 15
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
5w • (2w-5)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (2w-5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(5w+3) • (2w-5)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(2w - 5) • (5w + 3)
