Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(7x2 + 11x) - 6
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 7x2+11x-6
The first term is, 7x2 its coefficient is 7 .
The middle term is, +11x its coefficient is 11 .
The last term, "the constant", is -6
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 7 • -6 = -42
Step-2 : Find two factors of -42 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 11 .
-42 | + | 1 | = | -41 | ||
-21 | + | 2 | = | -19 | ||
-14 | + | 3 | = | -11 | ||
-7 | + | 6 | = | -1 | ||
-6 | + | 7 | = | 1 | ||
-3 | + | 14 | = | 11 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -3 and 14
7x2 - 3x + 14x - 6
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (7x-3)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (7x-3)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+2) • (7x-3)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(7x - 3) • (x + 2)
