25x^2-20x-54
Step by Step Solution
Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "x2" was replaced by "x^2".
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(52x2 - 20x) - 54
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 25x2-20x-54
The first term is, 25x2 its coefficient is 25 .
The middle term is, -20x its coefficient is -20 .
The last term, "the constant", is -54
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 25 • -54 = -1350
Step-2 : Find two factors of -1350 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -20 .
| -1350 | + | 1 | = | -1349 | ||
| -675 | + | 2 | = | -673 | ||
| -450 | + | 3 | = | -447 | ||
| -270 | + | 5 | = | -265 | ||
| -225 | + | 6 | = | -219 | ||
| -150 | + | 9 | = | -141 |
For tidiness, printing of 18 lines which failed to find two such factors, was suppressed
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Final result :
25x2 - 20x - 54
