2*(x^2+14x+10)
Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(2x2 + 28x) + 20
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
2x2 + 28x + 20 = 2 • (x2 + 14x + 10)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring x2 + 14x + 10
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +14x its coefficient is 14 .
The last term, "the constant", is +10
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 10 = 10
Step-2 : Find two factors of 10 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 14 .
| -10 | + | -1 | = | -11 | ||
| -5 | + | -2 | = | -7 | ||
| -2 | + | -5 | = | -7 | ||
| -1 | + | -10 | = | -11 | ||
| 1 | + | 10 | = | 11 | ||
| 2 | + | 5 | = | 7 | ||
| 5 | + | 2 | = | 7 | ||
| 10 | + | 1 | = | 11 |
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Final result :
2 • (x2 + 14x + 10)
