Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(72x2 + 70x) + 25
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 49x2+70x+25
The first term is, 49x2 its coefficient is 49 .
The middle term is, +70x its coefficient is 70 .
The last term, "the constant", is +25
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 49 • 25 = 1225
Step-2 : Find two factors of 1225 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 70 .
| -1225 | + | -1 | = | -1226 | ||
| -245 | + | -5 | = | -250 | ||
| -175 | + | -7 | = | -182 | ||
| -49 | + | -25 | = | -74 | ||
| -35 | + | -35 | = | -70 | ||
| -25 | + | -49 | = | -74 | ||
| -7 | + | -175 | = | -182 | ||
| -5 | + | -245 | = | -250 | ||
| -1 | + | -1225 | = | -1226 | ||
| 1 | + | 1225 | = | 1226 | ||
| 5 | + | 245 | = | 250 | ||
| 7 | + | 175 | = | 182 | ||
| 25 | + | 49 | = | 74 | ||
| 35 | + | 35 | = | 70 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, 35 and 35
49x2 + 35x + 35x + 25
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
7x • (7x+5)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
5 • (7x+5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(7x+5) • (7x+5)
Which is the desired factorization
Multiplying Exponential Expressions :
2.2 Multiply (7x+5) by (7x+5)
The rule says : To multiply exponential expressions which have the same base, add up their exponents.
In our case, the common base is (7x+5) and the exponents are :
1 , as (7x+5) is the same number as (7x+5)1
and 1 , as (7x+5) is the same number as (7x+5)1
The product is therefore, (7x+5)(1+1) = (7x+5)2
Final result :
(7x + 5)2
