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