Simplification or other simple resultsStep by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(((x2)-2x)-35) ——————————————————— ÷ (22x3-9x) ÷ (7x-49) ((2•(x3))-(3•(x2)))Step 2 :
Equation at the end of step 2 :
(((x2)-2x)-35) —————————————— ÷ (4x3-9x) ÷ (7x-49) ((2•(x3))-3x2)Step 3 :
Equation at the end of step 3 :
(((x2)-2x)-35)
—————————————— ÷ (4x3-9x) ÷ (7x-49)
(2x3-3x2)
Step 4 :
x2 - 2x - 35
Simplify ————————————
2x3 - 3x2
Step 5 :
Pulling out like terms :
5.1 Pull out like factors :
2x3 - 3x2 = x2 • (2x - 3)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
5.2 Factoring x2 - 2x - 35
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -2x 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 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -7 and 5
x2 - 7x + 5x - 35
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-7)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
5 • (x-7)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+5) • (x-7)
Which is the desired factorization
Equation at the end of step 5 :
(x + 5) • (x - 7)
————————————————— ÷ (4x3 - 9x) ÷ (7x - 49)
x2 • (2x - 3)
Step 6 :
(x+5)•(x-7)
Divide ——————————— by 4x3-9x
x2•(2x-3)
Step 7 :
Pulling out like terms :
7.1 Pull out like factors :
4x3 - 9x = x • (4x2 - 9)
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
7.2 Factoring: 4x2 - 9
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.
Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.
Check : 4 is the square of 2
Check : 9 is the square of 3
Check : x2 is the square of x1
Factorization is : (2x + 3) • (2x - 3)
Multiplying exponential expressions :
7.3 x2 multiplied by x1 = x(2 + 1) = x3
Multiplying Exponential Expressions :
7.4 Multiply (2x - 3) by (2x - 3)
The rule says : To multiply exponential expressions which have the same base, add up their exponents.
In our case, the common base is (2x-3) and the exponents are :
1 , as (2x-3) is the same number as (2x-3)1
and 1 , as (2x-3) is the same number as (2x-3)1
The product is therefore, (2x-3)(1+1) = (2x-3)2
Equation at the end of step 7 :
(x + 5) • (x - 7)
————————————————————————— ÷ (7x - 49)
x3 • (2x - 3)2 • (2x + 3)
Step 8 :
(x+5)•(x-7)
Divide ————————————————— by 7x-49
x3•(2x-3)2•(2x+3)
Step 9 :
Pulling out like terms :
9.1 Pull out like factors :
7x - 49 = 7 • (x - 7)
Canceling Out :
9.2 Cancel out (x - 7) which appears on both sides of the fraction line.
Final result :
x + 5
——————————————————————————
7x3 • (2x - 3)2 • (2x + 3)
