Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(2h2 - 15h) + 25
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 2h2-15h+25
The first term is, 2h2 its coefficient is 2 .
The middle term is, -15h its coefficient is -15 .
The last term, "the constant", is +25
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • 25 = 50
Step-2 : Find two factors of 50 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -15 .
| -50 | + | -1 | = | -51 | ||
| -25 | + | -2 | = | -27 | ||
| -10 | + | -5 | = | -15 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -10 and -5
2h2 - 10h - 5h - 25
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
2h • (h-5)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
5 • (h-5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(2h-5) • (h-5)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(h - 5) • (2h - 5)
