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