Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(3y2 - y) - 30
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 3y2-y-30
The first term is, 3y2 its coefficient is 3 .
The middle term is, -y its coefficient is -1 .
The last term, "the constant", is -30
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 3 • -30 = -90
Step-2 : Find two factors of -90 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -1 .
-90 | + | 1 | = | -89 | ||
-45 | + | 2 | = | -43 | ||
-30 | + | 3 | = | -27 | ||
-18 | + | 5 | = | -13 | ||
-15 | + | 6 | = | -9 | ||
-10 | + | 9 | = | -1 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -10 and 9
3y2 - 10y + 9y - 30
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
y • (3y-10)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (3y-10)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(y+3) • (3y-10)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(3y - 10) • (y + 3)
