Solution - Simplification or other simple results
Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(34x2 - 90x) + 25
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 81x2-90x+25
The first term is, 81x2 its coefficient is 81 .
The middle term is, -90x its coefficient is -90 .
The last term, "the constant", is +25
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 81 • 25 = 2025
Step-2 : Find two factors of 2025 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -90 .
| -2025 | + | -1 | = | -2026 | ||
| -675 | + | -3 | = | -678 | ||
| -405 | + | -5 | = | -410 | ||
| -225 | + | -9 | = | -234 | ||
| -135 | + | -15 | = | -150 | ||
| -81 | + | -25 | = | -106 | ||
| -75 | + | -27 | = | -102 | ||
| -45 | + | -45 | = | -90 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -45 and -45
81x2 - 45x - 45x - 25
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
9x • (9x-5)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
5 • (9x-5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(9x-5) • (9x-5)
Which is the desired factorization
Multiplying Exponential Expressions :
2.2 Multiply (9x-5) by (9x-5)
The rule says : To multiply exponential expressions which have the same base, add up their exponents.
In our case, the common base is (9x-5) and the exponents are :
1 , as (9x-5) is the same number as (9x-5)1
and 1 , as (9x-5) is the same number as (9x-5)1
The product is therefore, (9x-5)(1+1) = (9x-5)2
Final result :
(9x - 5)2
