Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.1 Factoring x2+5x-2250
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +5x its coefficient is 5 .
The last term, "the constant", is -2250
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -2250 = -2250
Step-2 : Find two factors of -2250 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 5 .
| -2250 | + | 1 | = | -2249 | ||
| -1125 | + | 2 | = | -1123 | ||
| -750 | + | 3 | = | -747 | ||
| -450 | + | 5 | = | -445 | ||
| -375 | + | 6 | = | -369 | ||
| -250 | + | 9 | = | -241 | ||
| -225 | + | 10 | = | -215 | ||
| -150 | + | 15 | = | -135 | ||
| -125 | + | 18 | = | -107 | ||
| -90 | + | 25 | = | -65 | ||
| -75 | + | 30 | = | -45 | ||
| -50 | + | 45 | = | -5 | ||
| -45 | + | 50 | = | 5 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -45 and 50
x2 - 45x + 50x - 2250
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-45)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
50 • (x-45)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+50) • (x-45)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(x + 50) • (x - 45)
