:
Equation at the end of step 1
(72b2 + 84b) + 36
STEP
2
:
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 49b2+84b+36
The first term is, 49b2 its coefficient is 49 .
The middle term is, +84b its coefficient is 84 .
The last term, "the constant", is +36
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 49 • 36 = 1764
Step-2 : Find two factors of 1764 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 84 .
-1764 + -1 = -1765
-882 + -2 = -884
-588 + -3 = -591
-441 + -4 = -445
-294 + -6 = -300
-252 + -7 = -259
-196 + -9 = -205
-147 + -12 = -159
-126 + -14 = -140
-98 + -18 = -116
-84 + -21 = -105
-63 + -28 = -91
-49 + -36 = -85
-42 + -42 = -84
-36 + -49 = -85
-28 + -63 = -91
-21 + -84 = -105
-18 + -98 = -116
-14 + -126 = -140
-12 + -147 = -159
-9 + -196 = -205
-7 + -252 = -259
-6 + -294 = -300
-4 + -441 = -445
-3 + -588 = -591
-2 + -882 = -884
-1 + -1764 = -1765
1 + 1764 = 1765
2 + 882 = 884
3 + 588 = 591
4 + 441 = 445
6 + 294 = 300
7 + 252 = 259
9 + 196 = 205
12 + 147 = 159
14 + 126 = 140
18 + 98 = 116
21 + 84 = 105
28 + 63 = 91
36 + 49 = 85
42 + 42 = 84 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, 42 and 42
49b2 + 42b + 42b + 36
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
7b • (7b+6)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
6 • (7b+6)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(7b+6) • (7b+6)
Which is the desired factorization
Multiplying Exponential Expressions:
2.2 Multiply (7b+6) by (7b+6)
The rule says : To multiply exponential expressions which have the same base, add up their exponents.
In our case, the common base is (7b+6) and the exponents are :
1 , as (7b+6) is the same number as (7b+6)1
and 1 , as (7b+6) is the same number as (7b+6)1
The product is therefore, (7b+6)(1+1) = (7b+6)2
Final result :
(7b + 6)2
