Solution - Simplification or other simple results
Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(3x2 - 13x) + 10
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 3x2-13x+10
The first term is, 3x2 its coefficient is 3 .
The middle term is, -13x its coefficient is -13 .
The last term, "the constant", is +10
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 3 • 10 = 30
Step-2 : Find two factors of 30 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -13 .
| -30 | + | -1 | = | -31 | ||
| -15 | + | -2 | = | -17 | ||
| -10 | + | -3 | = | -13 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -10 and -3
3x2 - 10x - 3x - 10
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (3x-10)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (3x-10)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x-1) • (3x-10)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(3x - 10) • (x - 1)
