Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "n2" was replaced by "n^2".
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(2n2 - 9n) + 7
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 2n2-9n+7
The first term is, 2n2 its coefficient is 2 .
The middle term is, -9n its coefficient is -9 .
The last term, "the constant", is +7
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • 7 = 14
Step-2 : Find two factors of 14 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -9 .
| -14 | + | -1 | = | -15 | ||
| -7 | + | -2 | = | -9 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -7 and -2
2n2 - 7n - 2n - 7
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
n • (2n-7)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (2n-7)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(n-1) • (2n-7)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(2n - 7) • (n - 1)
