Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((2•3x2) - 11x) - 10
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 6x2-11x-10
The first term is, 6x2 its coefficient is 6 .
The middle term is, -11x its coefficient is -11 .
The last term, "the constant", is -10
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 6 • -10 = -60
Step-2 : Find two factors of -60 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -11 .
-60 | + | 1 | = | -59 | ||
-30 | + | 2 | = | -28 | ||
-20 | + | 3 | = | -17 | ||
-15 | + | 4 | = | -11 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -15 and 4
6x2 - 15x + 4x - 10
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
3x • (2x-5)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (2x-5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(3x+2) • (2x-5)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(2x - 5) • (3x + 2)
