Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(32a2 - 10a) + 1
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 9a2-10a+1
The first term is, 9a2 its coefficient is 9 .
The middle term is, -10a its coefficient is -10 .
The last term, "the constant", is +1
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 9 • 1 = 9
Step-2 : Find two factors of 9 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -10 .
-9 | + | -1 | = | -10 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -9 and -1
9a2 - 9a - 1a - 1
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
9a • (a-1)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (a-1)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(9a-1) • (a-1)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(a - 1) • (9a - 1)
