Simplification or other simple resultsStep by Step Solution
Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "p2" was replaced by "p^2".
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(2p2 + 13p) + 11
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 2p2+13p+11
The first term is, 2p2 its coefficient is 2 .
The middle term is, +13p its coefficient is 13 .
The last term, "the constant", is +11
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • 11 = 22
Step-2 : Find two factors of 22 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 13 .
| -22 | + | -1 | = | -23 | ||
| -11 | + | -2 | = | -13 | ||
| -2 | + | -11 | = | -13 | ||
| -1 | + | -22 | = | -23 | ||
| 1 | + | 22 | = | 23 | ||
| 2 | + | 11 | = | 13 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, 2 and 11
2p2 + 2p + 11p + 11
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
2p • (p+1)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
11 • (p+1)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(2p+11) • (p+1)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(p + 1) • (2p + 11)
