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