Solution - Simplification or other simple results
5*(n^2+2n+4)
Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(5n2 + 10n) + 20
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
5n2 + 10n + 20 = 5 • (n2 + 2n + 4)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring n2 + 2n + 4
The first term is, n2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +2n its coefficient is 2 .
The last term, "the constant", is +4
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 4 = 4
Step-2 : Find two factors of 4 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 2 .
| -4 | + | -1 | = | -5 | ||
| -2 | + | -2 | = | -4 | ||
| -1 | + | -4 | = | -5 | ||
| 1 | + | 4 | = | 5 | ||
| 2 | + | 2 | = | 4 | ||
| 4 | + | 1 | = | 5 |
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Final result :
5 • (n2 + 2n + 4)
