Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(2r2 + 3r) + 1
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 2r2+3r+1
The first term is, 2r2 its coefficient is 2 .
The middle term is, +3r its coefficient is 3 .
The last term, "the constant", is +1
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • 1 = 2
Step-2 : Find two factors of 2 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 3 .
| -2 | + | -1 | = | -3 | ||
| -1 | + | -2 | = | -3 | ||
| 1 | + | 2 | = | 3 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, 1 and 2
2r2 + 1r + 2r + 1
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
r • (2r+1)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (2r+1)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(r+1) • (2r+1)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(2r + 1) • (r + 1)
