Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((3•11x2) - 5x) - 2
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 33x2-5x-2
The first term is, 33x2 its coefficient is 33 .
The middle term is, -5x its coefficient is -5 .
The last term, "the constant", is -2
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 33 • -2 = -66
Step-2 : Find two factors of -66 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -5 .
| -66 | + | 1 | = | -65 | ||
| -33 | + | 2 | = | -31 | ||
| -22 | + | 3 | = | -19 | ||
| -11 | + | 6 | = | -5 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -11 and 6
33x2 - 11x + 6x - 2
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
11x • (3x-1)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (3x-1)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(11x+2) • (3x-1)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(3x - 1) • (11x + 2)
