Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.1 Factoring x2+22x+121
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +22x its coefficient is 22 .
The last term, "the constant", is +121
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 121 = 121
Step-2 : Find two factors of 121 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 22 .
-121 | + | -1 | = | -122 | ||
-11 | + | -11 | = | -22 | ||
-1 | + | -121 | = | -122 | ||
1 | + | 121 | = | 122 | ||
11 | + | 11 | = | 22 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, 11 and 11
x2 + 11x + 11x + 121
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x+11)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
11 • (x+11)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+11) • (x+11)
Which is the desired factorization
Multiplying Exponential Expressions :
1.2 Multiply (x+11) by (x+11)
The rule says : To multiply exponential expressions which have the same base, add up their exponents.
In our case, the common base is (x+11) and the exponents are :
1 , as (x+11) is the same number as (x+11)1
and 1 , as (x+11) is the same number as (x+11)1
The product is therefore, (x+11)(1+1) = (x+11)2
Final result :
(x + 11)2
