Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((2•3x2) - 13x) - 15
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 6x2-13x-15
The first term is, 6x2 its coefficient is 6 .
The middle term is, -13x its coefficient is -13 .
The last term, "the constant", is -15
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 6 • -15 = -90
Step-2 : Find two factors of -90 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -13 .
| -90 | + | 1 | = | -89 | ||
| -45 | + | 2 | = | -43 | ||
| -30 | + | 3 | = | -27 | ||
| -18 | + | 5 | = | -13 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -18 and 5
6x2 - 18x + 5x - 15
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
6x • (x-3)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
5 • (x-3)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(6x+5) • (x-3)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(x - 3) • (6x + 5)
