Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(3h2 + 11h) + 6
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 3h2+11h+6
The first term is, 3h2 its coefficient is 3 .
The middle term is, +11h its coefficient is 11 .
The last term, "the constant", is +6
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 3 • 6 = 18
Step-2 : Find two factors of 18 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 11 .
-18 | + | -1 | = | -19 | ||
-9 | + | -2 | = | -11 | ||
-6 | + | -3 | = | -9 | ||
-3 | + | -6 | = | -9 | ||
-2 | + | -9 | = | -11 | ||
-1 | + | -18 | = | -19 | ||
1 | + | 18 | = | 19 | ||
2 | + | 9 | = | 11 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, 2 and 9
3h2 + 2h + 9h + 6
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
h • (3h+2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (3h+2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(h+3) • (3h+2)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(3h + 2) • (h + 3)
