5*(3n^2-8n-10)
Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((3•5n2) - 40n) - 50
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
15n2 - 40n - 50 = 5 • (3n2 - 8n - 10)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring 3n2 - 8n - 10
The first term is, 3n2 its coefficient is 3 .
The middle term is, -8n its coefficient is -8 .
The last term, "the constant", is -10
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 3 • -10 = -30
Step-2 : Find two factors of -30 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -8 .
| -30 | + | 1 | = | -29 | ||
| -15 | + | 2 | = | -13 | ||
| -10 | + | 3 | = | -7 | ||
| -6 | + | 5 | = | -1 | ||
| -5 | + | 6 | = | 1 | ||
| -3 | + | 10 | = | 7 | ||
| -2 | + | 15 | = | 13 | ||
| -1 | + | 30 | = | 29 |
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Final result :
5 • (3n2 - 8n - 10)
