Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((2•5y2) - 27y) + 5
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 10y2-27y+5
The first term is, 10y2 its coefficient is 10 .
The middle term is, -27y its coefficient is -27 .
The last term, "the constant", is +5
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 10 • 5 = 50
Step-2 : Find two factors of 50 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -27 .
| -50 | + | -1 | = | -51 | ||
| -25 | + | -2 | = | -27 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -25 and -2
10y2 - 25y - 2y - 5
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
5y • (2y-5)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (2y-5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(5y-1) • (2y-5)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(2y - 5) • (5y - 1)
