Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.1 Factoring g2-5g-6
The first term is, g2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -5g its coefficient is -5 .
The last term, "the constant", is -6
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -6 = -6
Step-2 : Find two factors of -6 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -5 .
| -6 | + | 1 | = | -5 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -6 and 1
g2 - 6g + 1g - 6
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
g • (g-6)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (g-6)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(g+1) • (g-6)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(g + 1) • (g - 6)
