Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((2•32w2) - w) - 39
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 18w2-w-39
The first term is, 18w2 its coefficient is 18 .
The middle term is, -w its coefficient is -1 .
The last term, "the constant", is -39
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 18 • -39 = -702
Step-2 : Find two factors of -702 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -1 .
| -702 | + | 1 | = | -701 | ||
| -351 | + | 2 | = | -349 | ||
| -234 | + | 3 | = | -231 | ||
| -117 | + | 6 | = | -111 | ||
| -78 | + | 9 | = | -69 | ||
| -54 | + | 13 | = | -41 | ||
| -39 | + | 18 | = | -21 | ||
| -27 | + | 26 | = | -1 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -27 and 26
18w2 - 27w + 26w - 39
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
9w • (2w-3)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
13 • (2w-3)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(9w+13) • (2w-3)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(2w - 3) • (9w + 13)
