Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((2•3x2) - x) - 15
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 6x2-x-15
The first term is, 6x2 its coefficient is 6 .
The middle term is, -x its coefficient is -1 .
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 -1 .
-90 | + | 1 | = | -89 | ||
-45 | + | 2 | = | -43 | ||
-30 | + | 3 | = | -27 | ||
-18 | + | 5 | = | -13 | ||
-15 | + | 6 | = | -9 | ||
-10 | + | 9 | = | -1 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -10 and 9
6x2 - 10x + 9x - 15
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
2x • (3x-5)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (3x-5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(2x+3) • (3x-5)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(3x - 5) • (2x + 3)
