Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.1 Factoring x2+5x-50
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +5x its coefficient is 5 .
The last term, "the constant", is -50
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -50 = -50
Step-2 : Find two factors of -50 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 5 .
| -50 | + | 1 | = | -49 | ||
| -25 | + | 2 | = | -23 | ||
| -10 | + | 5 | = | -5 | ||
| -5 | + | 10 | = | 5 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -5 and 10
x2 - 5x + 10x - 50
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-5)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
10 • (x-5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+10) • (x-5)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(x + 10) • (x - 5)
