Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((3•11r2) + 2r) - 16
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 33r2+2r-16
The first term is, 33r2 its coefficient is 33 .
The middle term is, +2r its coefficient is 2 .
The last term, "the constant", is -16
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 33 • -16 = -528
Step-2 : Find two factors of -528 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 2 .
| -528 | + | 1 | = | -527 | ||
| -264 | + | 2 | = | -262 | ||
| -176 | + | 3 | = | -173 | ||
| -132 | + | 4 | = | -128 | ||
| -88 | + | 6 | = | -82 | ||
| -66 | + | 8 | = | -58 | ||
| -48 | + | 11 | = | -37 | ||
| -44 | + | 12 | = | -32 | ||
| -33 | + | 16 | = | -17 | ||
| -24 | + | 22 | = | -2 | ||
| -22 | + | 24 | = | 2 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -22 and 24
33r2 - 22r + 24r - 16
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
11r • (3r-2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
8 • (3r-2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(11r+8) • (3r-2)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(3r - 2) • (11r + 8)
