:
Pulling out like terms
4.1 Pull out like factors :
6a3 - 12a2 + 18a = 6a • (a2 - 2a + 3)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
4.2 Factoring a2 - 2a + 3
The first term is, a2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -2a its coefficient is -2 .
The last term, "the constant", is +3
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 3 = 3
Step-2 : Find two factors of 3 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -2 .
-3 + -1 = -4
-1 + -3 = -4
1 + 3 = 4
3 + 1 = 4
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Final result :
6a • (a2 - 2a + 3)
