Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((5•7x2) - 3x) - 2
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 35x2-3x-2
The first term is, 35x2 its coefficient is 35 .
The middle term is, -3x its coefficient is -3 .
The last term, "the constant", is -2
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 35 • -2 = -70
Step-2 : Find two factors of -70 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -3 .
| -70 | + | 1 | = | -69 | ||
| -35 | + | 2 | = | -33 | ||
| -14 | + | 5 | = | -9 | ||
| -10 | + | 7 | = | -3 | That's it |
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -10 and 7
35x2 - 10x + 7x - 2
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
5x • (7x-2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (7x-2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(5x+1) • (7x-2)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(7x - 2) • (5x + 1)
