Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.1 Factoring y2+2y-35
The first term is, y2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +2y its coefficient is 2 .
The last term, "the constant", is -35
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -35 = -35
Step-2 : Find two factors of -35 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 2 .
| -35 | + | 1 | = | -34 | ||
| -7 | + | 5 | = | -2 | ||
| -5 | + | 7 | = | 2 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -5 and 7
y2 - 5y + 7y - 35
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
y • (y-5)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
7 • (y-5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(y+7) • (y-5)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(y + 7) • (y - 5)
