Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((22•3•5x2) + 4x) - 8
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
60x2 + 4x - 8 = 4 • (15x2 + x - 2)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring 15x2 + x - 2
The first term is, 15x2 its coefficient is 15 .
The middle term is, +x its coefficient is 1 .
The last term, "the constant", is -2
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 15 • -2 = -30
Step-2 : Find two factors of -30 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 1 .
| -30 | + | 1 | = | -29 | ||
| -15 | + | 2 | = | -13 | ||
| -10 | + | 3 | = | -7 | ||
| -6 | + | 5 | = | -1 | ||
| -5 | + | 6 | = | 1 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -5 and 6
15x2 - 5x + 6x - 2
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
5x • (3x-1)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (3x-1)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(5x+2) • (3x-1)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
4 • (3x - 1) • (5x + 2)
