Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((22•7k2) + 13k) - 6
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 28k2+13k-6
The first term is, 28k2 its coefficient is 28 .
The middle term is, +13k its coefficient is 13 .
The last term, "the constant", is -6
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 28 • -6 = -168
Step-2 : Find two factors of -168 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 13 .
| -168 | + | 1 | = | -167 | ||
| -84 | + | 2 | = | -82 | ||
| -56 | + | 3 | = | -53 | ||
| -42 | + | 4 | = | -38 | ||
| -28 | + | 6 | = | -22 | ||
| -24 | + | 7 | = | -17 | ||
| -21 | + | 8 | = | -13 | ||
| -14 | + | 12 | = | -2 | ||
| -12 | + | 14 | = | 2 | ||
| -8 | + | 21 | = | 13 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -8 and 21
28k2 - 8k + 21k - 6
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
4k • (7k-2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (7k-2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(4k+3) • (7k-2)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(7k - 2) • (4k + 3)
