Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Factoring 36a2+12a+1
The first term is, 36a2 its coefficient is 36 .
The middle term is, +12a its coefficient is 12 .
The last term, "the constant", is +1
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 36 • 1 = 36
Step-2 : Find two factors of 36 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 12 .
-36 + -1 = -37 -18 + -2 = -20 -12 + -3 = -15 -9 + -4 = -13 -6 + -6 = -12 -4 + -9 = -13 -3 + -12 = -15 -2 + -18 = -20 -1 + -36 = -37 1 + 36 = 37 2 + 18 = 20 3 + 12 = 15 4 + 9 = 13 6 + 6 = 12 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, 6 and 6
36a2 + 6a + 6a + 1
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
6a • (6a+1)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (6a+1)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(6a+1) • (6a+1)
