Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((3•5x2) - 27x) - 6
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
15x2 - 27x - 6 = 3 • (5x2 - 9x - 2)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring 5x2 - 9x - 2
The first term is, 5x2 its coefficient is 5 .
The middle term is, -9x its coefficient is -9 .
The last term, "the constant", is -2
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 5 • -2 = -10
Step-2 : Find two factors of -10 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -9 .
-10 | + | 1 | = | -9 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -10 and 1
5x2 - 10x + 1x - 2
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
5x • (x-2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (x-2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(5x+1) • (x-2)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
3 • (x - 2) • (5x + 1)
