Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(22x2 + x) - 33
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 4x2+x-33
The first term is, 4x2 its coefficient is 4 .
The middle term is, +x its coefficient is 1 .
The last term, "the constant", is -33
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 4 • -33 = -132
Step-2 : Find two factors of -132 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 1 .
| -132 | + | 1 | = | -131 | ||
| -66 | + | 2 | = | -64 | ||
| -44 | + | 3 | = | -41 | ||
| -33 | + | 4 | = | -29 | ||
| -22 | + | 6 | = | -16 | ||
| -12 | + | 11 | = | -1 | ||
| -11 | + | 12 | = | 1 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -11 and 12
4x2 - 11x + 12x - 33
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (4x-11)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (4x-11)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+3) • (4x-11)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(4x - 11) • (x + 3)
