:

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

1.1 Factoring x2-2x-50

The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .

The middle term is, -2x its coefficient is -2 .

The last term, "the constant", is -50

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -50 = -50

Step-2 : Find two factors of -50 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -2 .

-50 + 1 = -49

-25 + 2 = -23

-10 + 5 = -5

-5 + 10 = 5

-2 + 25 = 23

-1 + 50 = 49
