Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((2•7x2) - 29x) - 15
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 14x2-29x-15
The first term is, 14x2 its coefficient is 14 .
The middle term is, -29x its coefficient is -29 .
The last term, "the constant", is -15
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 14 • -15 = -210
Step-2 : Find two factors of -210 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -29 .
| -210 | + | 1 | = | -209 | ||
| -105 | + | 2 | = | -103 | ||
| -70 | + | 3 | = | -67 | ||
| -42 | + | 5 | = | -37 | ||
| -35 | + | 6 | = | -29 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -35 and 6
14x2 - 35x + 6x - 15
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
7x • (2x-5)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (2x-5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(7x+3) • (2x-5)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(2x - 5) • (7x + 3)
