Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "a2" was replaced by "a^2". 1 more similar replacement(s).
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(((((a2)+a)+1)+5a2)-8a)+20
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 6a2-7a+21
The first term is, 6a2 its coefficient is 6 .
The middle term is, -7a its coefficient is -7 .
The last term, "the constant", is +21
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 6 • 21 = 126
Step-2 : Find two factors of 126 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -7 .
| -126 | + | -1 | = | -127 | ||
| -63 | + | -2 | = | -65 | ||
| -42 | + | -3 | = | -45 | ||
| -21 | + | -6 | = | -27 | ||
| -18 | + | -7 | = | -25 | ||
| -14 | + | -9 | = | -23 |
For tidiness, printing of 18 lines which failed to find two such factors, was suppressed
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Final result :
6a2 - 7a + 21
