Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((2•3r2) + 25r) + 14
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 6r2+25r+14
The first term is, 6r2 its coefficient is 6 .
The middle term is, +25r its coefficient is 25 .
The last term, "the constant", is +14
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 6 • 14 = 84
Step-2 : Find two factors of 84 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 25 .
| -84 | + | -1 | = | -85 | ||
| -42 | + | -2 | = | -44 | ||
| -28 | + | -3 | = | -31 | ||
| -21 | + | -4 | = | -25 | ||
| -14 | + | -6 | = | -20 | ||
| -12 | + | -7 | = | -19 | ||
| -7 | + | -12 | = | -19 | ||
| -6 | + | -14 | = | -20 | ||
| -4 | + | -21 | = | -25 | ||
| -3 | + | -28 | = | -31 | ||
| -2 | + | -42 | = | -44 | ||
| -1 | + | -84 | = | -85 | ||
| 1 | + | 84 | = | 85 | ||
| 2 | + | 42 | = | 44 | ||
| 3 | + | 28 | = | 31 | ||
| 4 | + | 21 | = | 25 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, 4 and 21
6r2 + 4r + 21r + 14
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
2r • (3r+2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
7 • (3r+2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(2r+7) • (3r+2)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(3r + 2) • (2r + 7)
