Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((23•7x2) - 15x) + 1
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 56x2-15x+1
The first term is, 56x2 its coefficient is 56 .
The middle term is, -15x its coefficient is -15 .
The last term, "the constant", is +1
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 56 • 1 = 56
Step-2 : Find two factors of 56 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -15 .
-56 | + | -1 | = | -57 | ||
-28 | + | -2 | = | -30 | ||
-14 | + | -4 | = | -18 | ||
-8 | + | -7 | = | -15 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -8 and -7
56x2 - 8x - 7x - 1
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
8x • (7x-1)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (7x-1)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(8x-1) • (7x-1)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(7x - 1) • (8x - 1)
