Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.1 Factoring x2+2x-63
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +2x its coefficient is 2 .
The last term, "the constant", is -63
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -63 = -63
Step-2 : Find two factors of -63 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 2 .
-63 | + | 1 | = | -62 | ||
-21 | + | 3 | = | -18 | ||
-9 | + | 7 | = | -2 | ||
-7 | + | 9 | = | 2 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -7 and 9
x2 - 7x + 9x - 63
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-7)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
9 • (x-7)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+9) • (x-7)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(x + 9) • (x - 7)
