Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(32x2 - 62x) - 7
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 9x2-62x-7
The first term is, 9x2 its coefficient is 9 .
The middle term is, -62x its coefficient is -62 .
The last term, "the constant", is -7
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 9 • -7 = -63
Step-2 : Find two factors of -63 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -62 .
| -63 | + | 1 | = | -62 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -63 and 1
9x2 - 63x + 1x - 7
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
9x • (x-7)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (x-7)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(9x+1) • (x-7)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(x - 7) • (9x + 1)
