Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((2•5w2) - 31w) + 15
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 10w2-31w+15
The first term is, 10w2 its coefficient is 10 .
The middle term is, -31w its coefficient is -31 .
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 -31 .
-150 | + | -1 | = | -151 | ||
-75 | + | -2 | = | -77 | ||
-50 | + | -3 | = | -53 | ||
-30 | + | -5 | = | -35 | ||
-25 | + | -6 | = | -31 | 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)
