Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Factoring 2x2-x-1
The first term is, 2x2 its coefficient is 2 .
The middle term is, -x its coefficient is -1 .
The last term, "the constant", is -1
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • -1 = -2
Step-2 : Find two factors of -2 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -1 .
-2 + 1 = -1 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -2 and 1
2x2 - 2x + 1x - 1
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
2x • (x-1)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (x-1)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(2x+1) • (x-1)
Which is the desired factorization
