Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(32x2 - 39x) - 30
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
9x2 - 39x - 30 = 3 • (3x2 - 13x - 10)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring 3x2 - 13x - 10
The first term is, 3x2 its coefficient is 3 .
The middle term is, -13x its coefficient is -13 .
The last term, "the constant", is -10
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 3 • -10 = -30
Step-2 : Find two factors of -30 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -13 .
-30 | + | 1 | = | -29 | ||
-15 | + | 2 | = | -13 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -15 and 2
3x2 - 15x + 2x - 10
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
3x • (x-5)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (x-5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(3x+2) • (x-5)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
3 • (x - 5) • (3x + 2)
