Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((22•3d2) - 13d) - 14
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 12d2-13d-14
The first term is, 12d2 its coefficient is 12 .
The middle term is, -13d its coefficient is -13 .
The last term, "the constant", is -14
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 12 • -14 = -168
Step-2 : Find two factors of -168 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -13 .
-168 | + | 1 | = | -167 | ||
-84 | + | 2 | = | -82 | ||
-56 | + | 3 | = | -53 | ||
-42 | + | 4 | = | -38 | ||
-28 | + | 6 | = | -22 | ||
-24 | + | 7 | = | -17 | ||
-21 | + | 8 | = | -13 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -21 and 8
12d2 - 21d + 8d - 14
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
3d • (4d-7)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (4d-7)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(3d+2) • (4d-7)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(4d - 7) • (3d + 2)
