Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.1 Factoring m2+13m+22
The first term is, m2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +13m its coefficient is 13 .
The last term, "the constant", is +22
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 22 = 22
Step-2 : Find two factors of 22 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 13 .
| -22 | + | -1 | = | -23 | ||
| -11 | + | -2 | = | -13 | ||
| -2 | + | -11 | = | -13 | ||
| -1 | + | -22 | = | -23 | ||
| 1 | + | 22 | = | 23 | ||
| 2 | + | 11 | = | 13 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, 2 and 11
m2 + 2m + 11m + 22
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
m • (m+2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
11 • (m+2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(m+11) • (m+2)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(m + 11) • (m + 2)
