Question

Factorise:

^2 + 2 − 899​

Answer 1

Answer:

Factoring x2-2x-899

The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .

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

The last term, "the constant", is -899

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -899 = -899

Step-2 : Find two factors of -899 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -2 .

-899 + 1 = -898

-31 + 29 = -2 That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -31 and 29

x2 - 31x + 29x - 899

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

x • (x-31)

Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

29 • (x-31)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

(x+29) • (x-31)

Which is the desired factorization
