Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(5m2 + 35m) - 150
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
5m2 + 35m - 150 = 5 • (m2 + 7m - 30)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring m2 + 7m - 30
The first term is, m2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +7m its coefficient is 7 .
The last term, "the constant", is -30
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -30 = -30
Step-2 : Find two factors of -30 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 7 .
| -30 | + | 1 | = | -29 | ||
| -15 | + | 2 | = | -13 | ||
| -10 | + | 3 | = | -7 | ||
| -6 | + | 5 | = | -1 | ||
| -5 | + | 6 | = | 1 | ||
| -3 | + | 10 | = | 7 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -3 and 10
m2 - 3m + 10m - 30
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
m • (m-3)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
10 • (m-3)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(m+10) • (m-3)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
5 • (m + 10) • (m - 3)
