Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(2w2 + 3w) - 35
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 2w2+3w-35
The first term is, 2w2 its coefficient is 2 .
The middle term is, +3w its coefficient is 3 .
The last term, "the constant", is -35
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • -35 = -70
Step-2 : Find two factors of -70 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 3 .
| -70 | + | 1 | = | -69 | ||
| -35 | + | 2 | = | -33 | ||
| -14 | + | 5 | = | -9 | ||
| -10 | + | 7 | = | -3 | ||
| -7 | + | 10 | = | 3 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -7 and 10
2w2 - 7w + 10w - 35
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
w • (2w-7)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
5 • (2w-7)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(w+5) • (2w-7)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(2w - 7) • (w + 5)
