Step by Step Solution
Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "y2" was replaced by "y^2".
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(3y2 - 3y) - 2
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 3y2-3y-2
The first term is, 3y2 its coefficient is 3 .
The middle term is, -3y its coefficient is -3 .
The last term, "the constant", is -2
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 3 • -2 = -6
Step-2 : Find two factors of -6 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -3 .
| -6 | + | 1 | = | -5 | ||
| -3 | + | 2 | = | -1 | ||
| -2 | + | 3 | = | 1 | ||
| -1 | + | 6 | = | 5 |
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Final result :
3y2 - 3y - 2
