Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.1 Factoring x2+32x-273
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +32x its coefficient is 32 .
The last term, "the constant", is -273
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -273 = -273
Step-2 : Find two factors of -273 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 32 .
| -273 | + | 1 | = | -272 | ||
| -91 | + | 3 | = | -88 | ||
| -39 | + | 7 | = | -32 | ||
| -21 | + | 13 | = | -8 | ||
| -13 | + | 21 | = | 8 | ||
| -7 | + | 39 | = | 32 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -7 and 39
x2 - 7x + 39x - 273
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 :
39 • (x-7)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+39) • (x-7)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(x + 39) • (x - 7)
