Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((22•3x2) - 36x) + 27
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
12x2 - 36x + 27 = 3 • (4x2 - 12x + 9)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring 4x2 - 12x + 9
The first term is, 4x2 its coefficient is 4 .
The middle term is, -12x its coefficient is -12 .
The last term, "the constant", is +9
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 4 • 9 = 36
Step-2 : Find two factors of 36 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -12 .
-36 | + | -1 | = | -37 | ||
-18 | + | -2 | = | -20 | ||
-12 | + | -3 | = | -15 | ||
-9 | + | -4 | = | -13 | ||
-6 | + | -6 | = | -12 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -6 and -6
4x2 - 6x - 6x - 9
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
2x • (2x-3)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (2x-3)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(2x-3) • (2x-3)
Which is the desired factorization
Multiplying Exponential Expressions :
3.3 Multiply (2x-3) by (2x-3)
The rule says : To multiply exponential expressions which have the same base, add up their exponents.
In our case, the common base is (2x-3) and the exponents are :
1 , as (2x-3) is the same number as (2x-3)1
and 1 , as (2x-3) is the same number as (2x-3)1
The product is therefore, (2x-3)(1+1) = (2x-3)2
Final result :
3 • (2x - 3)2
