(1): "x2" was replaced by "x^2".
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(11x2 - 2x) - 9
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 11x2-2x-9
The first term is, 11x2 its coefficient is 11 .
The middle term is, -2x its coefficient is -2 .
The last term, "the constant", is -9
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 11 • -9 = -99
Step-2 : Find two factors of -99 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -2 .
-99 | + | 1 | = | -98 | ||
-33 | + | 3 | = | -30 | ||
-11 | + | 9 | = | -2 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -11 and 9
11x2 - 11x + 9x - 9
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
11x • (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 :
(11x+9) • (x-1)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(x - 1) • (11x + 9)
