Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(24x2 + 11x) - 5
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 16x2+11x-5
The first term is, 16x2 its coefficient is 16 .
The middle term is, +11x its coefficient is 11 .
The last term, "the constant", is -5
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 16 • -5 = -80
Step-2 : Find two factors of -80 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 11 .
-80 | + | 1 | = | -79 | ||
-40 | + | 2 | = | -38 | ||
-20 | + | 4 | = | -16 | ||
-16 | + | 5 | = | -11 | ||
-10 | + | 8 | = | -2 | ||
-8 | + | 10 | = | 2 | ||
-5 | + | 16 | = | 11 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -5 and 16
16x2 - 5x + 16x - 5
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (16x-5)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (16x-5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+1) • (16x-5)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(16x - 5) • (x + 1)
