Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((22•3•7n2) - 81n) + 15
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
84n2 - 81n + 15 = 3 • (28n2 - 27n + 5)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring 28n2 - 27n + 5
The first term is, 28n2 its coefficient is 28 .
The middle term is, -27n its coefficient is -27 .
The last term, "the constant", is +5
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 28 • 5 = 140
Step-2 : Find two factors of 140 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -27 .
| -140 | + | -1 | = | -141 | ||
| -70 | + | -2 | = | -72 | ||
| -35 | + | -4 | = | -39 | ||
| -28 | + | -5 | = | -33 | ||
| -20 | + | -7 | = | -27 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -20 and -7
28n2 - 20n - 7n - 5
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
4n • (7n-5)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (7n-5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(4n-1) • (7n-5)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
3 • (7n - 5) • (4n - 1)
