Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.1 Factoring x2+10x-39
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +10x its coefficient is 10 .
The last term, "the constant", is -39
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -39 = -39
Step-2 : Find two factors of -39 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 10 .
| -39 | + | 1 | = | -38 | ||
| -13 | + | 3 | = | -10 | ||
| -3 | + | 13 | = | 10 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -3 and 13
x2 - 3x + 13x - 39
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-3)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
13 • (x-3)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+13) • (x-3)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(x + 13) • (x - 3)
