Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((2•3p2) - 11p) + 4
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 6p2-11p+4
The first term is, 6p2 its coefficient is 6 .
The middle term is, -11p its coefficient is -11 .
The last term, "the constant", is +4
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 6 • 4 = 24
Step-2 : Find two factors of 24 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -11 .
-24 | + | -1 | = | -25 | ||
-12 | + | -2 | = | -14 | ||
-8 | + | -3 | = | -11 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -8 and -3
6p2 - 8p - 3p - 4
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
2p • (3p-4)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (3p-4)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(2p-1) • (3p-4)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(3p - 4) • (2p - 1)
