Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((2•3x2) + 48x) - 54
Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
6x2 + 48x - 54 = 6 • (x2 + 8x - 9)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring x2 + 8x - 9
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +8x its coefficient is 8 .
The last term, "the constant", is -9
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -9 = -9
Step-2 : Find two factors of -9 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 8 .
-9 | + | 1 | = | -8 | ||
-3 | + | 3 | = | 0 | ||
-1 | + | 9 | = | 8 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -1 and 9
x2 - 1x + 9x - 9
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-1)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
9 • (x-1)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+9) • (x-1)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
6 • (x + 9) • (x - 1)
