Solution - Simplification or other simple results

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  ((22•32r2) -  12r) +  1

Step  2  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

 2.1     Factoring  36r²-12r+1 

The first term is,  36r²  its coefficient is  36 .
The middle term is,  -12r  its coefficient is  -12 .
The last term, "the constant", is  +1 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   36 • 1 = 36 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  36  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -12 .

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -6  and  -6 
                     36r² - 6r - 6r - 1

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
                    6r • (6r-1)
              Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
                     1 • (6r-1)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
                    (6r-1)  •  (6r-1)
             Which is the desired factorization

Multiplying Exponential Expressions :

 2.2    Multiply  (6r-1)  by  (6r-1) 

The rule says : To multiply exponential expressions which have the same base, add up their exponents.

In our case, the common base is  (6r-1)  and the exponents are :
          1 , as  (6r-1)  is the same number as  (6r-1)¹ 
 and   1 , as  (6r-1)  is the same number as  (6r-1)¹ 
The product is therefore,  (6r-1)⁽¹⁺¹⁾ = (6r-1)² 

Final result :

  (6r - 1)2
