Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((5y2 + 9y) - 9) - (3 - 2y)
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 5y2+11y-12
The first term is, 5y2 its coefficient is 5 .
The middle term is, +11y its coefficient is 11 .
The last term, "the constant", is -12
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 5 • -12 = -60
Step-2 : Find two factors of -60 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 11 .
-60 | + | 1 | = | -59 | ||
-30 | + | 2 | = | -28 | ||
-20 | + | 3 | = | -17 | ||
-15 | + | 4 | = | -11 | ||
-12 | + | 5 | = | -7 | ||
-10 | + | 6 | = | -4 | ||
-6 | + | 10 | = | 4 | ||
-5 | + | 12 | = | 7 | ||
-4 | + | 15 | = | 11 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -4 and 15
5y2 - 4y + 15y - 12
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
y • (5y-4)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (5y-4)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(y+3) • (5y-4)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(5y - 4) • (y + 3)
