Solution - Simplification or other simple results
Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(32r2 - 36r) - 45
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
9r2 - 36r - 45 = 9 • (r2 - 4r - 5)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring r2 - 4r - 5
The first term is, r2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -4r its coefficient is -4 .
The last term, "the constant", is -5
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -5 = -5
Step-2 : Find two factors of -5 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -4 .
| -5 | + | 1 | = | -4 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -5 and 1
r2 - 5r + 1r - 5
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
r • (r-5)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (r-5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(r+1) • (r-5)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
9 • (r + 1) • (r - 5)
