(1): "r2" was replaced by "r^2".
Step 1 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.1 Factoring r2+18r+32
The first term is, r2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +18r its coefficient is 18 .
The last term, "the constant", is +32
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 32 = 32
Step-2 : Find two factors of 32 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 18 .
| -32 | + | -1 | = | -33 | ||
| -16 | + | -2 | = | -18 | ||
| -8 | + | -4 | = | -12 | ||
| -4 | + | -8 | = | -12 | ||
| -2 | + | -16 | = | -18 | ||
| -1 | + | -32 | = | -33 | ||
| 1 | + | 32 | = | 33 | ||
| 2 | + | 16 | = | 18 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, 2 and 16
r2 + 2r + 16r + 32
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
r • (r+2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
16 • (r+2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(r+16) • (r+2)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(r + 16) • (r + 2)
