Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(22x2 + 33x) + 8
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 4x2+33x+8
The first term is, 4x2 its coefficient is 4 .
The middle term is, +33x its coefficient is 33 .
The last term, "the constant", is +8
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 4 • 8 = 32
Step-2 : Find two factors of 32 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 33 .
-32 | + | -1 | = | -33 | ||
-16 | + | -2 | = | -18 | ||
-8 | + | -4 | = | -12 | ||
-4 | + | -8 | = | -12 | ||
-2 | + | -16 | = | -18 | ||
-1 | + | -32 | = | -33 | ||
1 | + | 32 | = | 33 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, 1 and 32
4x2 + 1x + 32x + 8
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (4x+1)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
8 • (4x+1)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+8) • (4x+1)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(4x + 1) • (x + 8)
