Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(5t2 - 12t) - 81
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 5t2-12t-81
The first term is, 5t2 its coefficient is 5 .
The middle term is, -12t its coefficient is -12 .
The last term, "the constant", is -81
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 5 • -81 = -405
Step-2 : Find two factors of -405 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -12 .
-405 | + | 1 | = | -404 | ||
-135 | + | 3 | = | -132 | ||
-81 | + | 5 | = | -76 | ||
-45 | + | 9 | = | -36 | ||
-27 | + | 15 | = | -12 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -27 and 15
5t2 - 27t + 15t - 81
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
t • (5t-27)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (5t-27)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(t+3) • (5t-27)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(5t - 27) • (t + 3)
