(d^2-3d-10) ÷ ( d) divide the following
Answers
Answer:
first term is, d2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -3d its coefficient is -3 .
The last term, "the constant", is -10
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -10 = -10
Step-2 : Find two factors of -10 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -3 .
-10 + 1 = -9
-5 + 2 = -3 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -5 and 2
d2 - 5d + 2d - 10
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
d • (d-5)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (d-5)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(d+2) • (d-5)
Which is the desired factorization
Equation at the end of step
1
:
(d + 2) • (d - 5) = 0
