Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(3x2 - 19x) + 30
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 3x2-19x+30
The first term is, 3x2 its coefficient is 3 .
The middle term is, -19x its coefficient is -19 .
The last term, "the constant", is +30
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 3 • 30 = 90
Step-2 : Find two factors of 90 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -19 .
-90 | + | -1 | = | -91 | ||
-45 | + | -2 | = | -47 | ||
-30 | + | -3 | = | -33 | ||
-18 | + | -5 | = | -23 | ||
-15 | + | -6 | = | -21 | ||
-10 | + | -9 | = | -19 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -10 and -9
3x2 - 10x - 9x - 30
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 :
3 • (3x-10)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x-3) • (3x-10)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(3x - 10) • (x - 3)
