Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((2•5a2) + 19a) + 6
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 10a2+19a+6
The first term is, 10a2 its coefficient is 10 .
The middle term is, +19a its coefficient is 19 .
The last term, "the constant", is +6
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 10 • 6 = 60
Step-2 : Find two factors of 60 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 19 .
| -60 | + | -1 | = | -61 | ||
| -30 | + | -2 | = | -32 | ||
| -20 | + | -3 | = | -23 | ||
| -15 | + | -4 | = | -19 | ||
| -12 | + | -5 | = | -17 | ||
| -10 | + | -6 | = | -16 | ||
| -6 | + | -10 | = | -16 | ||
| -5 | + | -12 | = | -17 | ||
| -4 | + | -15 | = | -19 | ||
| -3 | + | -20 | = | -23 | ||
| -2 | + | -30 | = | -32 | ||
| -1 | + | -60 | = | -61 | ||
| 1 | + | 60 | = | 61 | ||
| 2 | + | 30 | = | 32 | ||
| 3 | + | 20 | = | 23 | ||
| 4 | + | 15 | = | 19 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, 4 and 15
10a2 + 4a + 15a + 6
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
2a • (5a+2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (5a+2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(2a+3) • (5a+2)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(5a + 2) • (2a + 3)
