Solution - Simplification or other simple results
Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((7•(y2))-3y)-((22y2+2y)-2)Step 2 :
Equation at the end of step 2 :
(7y2 - 3y) - (4y2 + 2y - 2)
Step 3 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.1 Factoring 3y2-5y+2
The first term is, 3y2 its coefficient is 3 .
The middle term is, -5y its coefficient is -5 .
The last term, "the constant", is +2
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 3 • 2 = 6
Step-2 : Find two factors of 6 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -5 .
| -6 | + | -1 | = | -7 | ||
| -3 | + | -2 | = | -5 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -3 and -2
3y2 - 3y - 2y - 2
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
3y • (y-1)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (y-1)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(3y-2) • (y-1)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(y - 1) • (3y - 2)
