Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((22•3d2) + 4d) - 1
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 12d2+4d-1
The first term is, 12d2 its coefficient is 12 .
The middle term is, +4d its coefficient is 4 .
The last term, "the constant", is -1
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 12 • -1 = -12
Step-2 : Find two factors of -12 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 4 .
-12 | + | 1 | = | -11 | ||
-6 | + | 2 | = | -4 | ||
-4 | + | 3 | = | -1 | ||
-3 | + | 4 | = | 1 | ||
-2 | + | 6 | = | 4 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -2 and 6
12d2 - 2d + 6d - 1
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
2d • (6d-1)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (6d-1)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(2d+1) • (6d-1)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(6d - 1) • (2d + 1)
