:

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

1.1 Factoring x2-8x-2

The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .

The middle term is, -8x its coefficient is -8 .

The last term, "the constant", is -2

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -2 = -2

Step-2 : Find two factors of -2 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -8 .

-2 + 1 = -1

-1 + 2 = 1

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Final result :

x2 - 8x - 2
