Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(5n2 + 39n) - 54
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 5n2+39n-54
The first term is, 5n2 its coefficient is 5 .
The middle term is, +39n its coefficient is 39 .
The last term, "the constant", is -54
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 5 • -54 = -270
Step-2 : Find two factors of -270 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 39 .
| -270 | + | 1 | = | -269 | ||
| -135 | + | 2 | = | -133 | ||
| -90 | + | 3 | = | -87 | ||
| -54 | + | 5 | = | -49 | ||
| -45 | + | 6 | = | -39 | ||
| -30 | + | 9 | = | -21 | ||
| -27 | + | 10 | = | -17 | ||
| -18 | + | 15 | = | -3 | ||
| -15 | + | 18 | = | 3 | ||
| -10 | + | 27 | = | 17 | ||
| -9 | + | 30 | = | 21 | ||
| -6 | + | 45 | = | 39 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -6 and 45
5n2 - 6n + 45n - 54
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
n • (5n-6)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
9 • (5n-6)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(n+9) • (5n-6)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(5n - 6) • (n + 9)
