Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.1 Factoring x2+12x+27
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +12x its coefficient is 12 .
The last term, "the constant", is +27
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 27 = 27
Step-2 : Find two factors of 27 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 12 .
-27 | + | -1 | = | -28 | ||
-9 | + | -3 | = | -12 | ||
-3 | + | -9 | = | -12 | ||
-1 | + | -27 | = | -28 | ||
1 | + | 27 | = | 28 | ||
3 | + | 9 | = | 12 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, 3 and 9
x2 + 3x + 9x + 27
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 :
9 • (x+3)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+9) • (x+3)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(x + 9) • (x + 3)
