Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(7x2 - 10x) + 3
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 7x2-10x+3
The first term is, 7x2 its coefficient is 7 .
The middle term is, -10x its coefficient is -10 .
The last term, "the constant", is +3
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 7 • 3 = 21
Step-2 : Find two factors of 21 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -10 .
-21 | + | -1 | = | -22 | ||
-7 | + | -3 | = | -10 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -7 and -3
7x2 - 7x - 3x - 3
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
7x • (x-1)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (x-1)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(7x-3) • (x-1)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(x - 1) • (7x - 3)
