Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((2•5n2) - 7n) - 6
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 10n2-7n-6
The first term is, 10n2 its coefficient is 10 .
The middle term is, -7n its coefficient is -7 .
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 -7 .
| -60 | + | 1 | = | -59 | ||
| -30 | + | 2 | = | -28 | ||
| -20 | + | 3 | = | -17 | ||
| -15 | + | 4 | = | -11 | ||
| -12 | + | 5 | = | -7 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -12 and 5
10n2 - 12n + 5n - 6
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
2n • (5n-6)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (5n-6)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(2n+1) • (5n-6)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(5n - 6) • (2n + 1)
