Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(2w2 + 5w) - 63
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 2w2+5w-63
The first term is, 2w2 its coefficient is 2 .
The middle term is, +5w its coefficient is 5 .
The last term, "the constant", is -63
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • -63 = -126
Step-2 : Find two factors of -126 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 5 .
| -126 | + | 1 | = | -125 | ||
| -63 | + | 2 | = | -61 | ||
| -42 | + | 3 | = | -39 | ||
| -21 | + | 6 | = | -15 | ||
| -18 | + | 7 | = | -11 | ||
| -14 | + | 9 | = | -5 | ||
| -9 | + | 14 | = | 5 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -9 and 14
2w2 - 9w + 14w - 63
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
w • (2w-9)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
7 • (2w-9)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(w+7) • (2w-9)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(2w - 9) • (w + 7)
