Factoring x2-30x+225
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -30x its coefficient is -30 .
The last term, "the constant", is +225
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 225 = 225
Step-2 : Find two factors of 225 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -30 .
-225 + -1 = -226
-75 + -3 = -78
-45 + -5 = -50
-25 + -9 = -34
-15 + -15 = -30 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -15 and -15
x2 - 15x - 15x - 225
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-15)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
15 • (x-15)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x-15) • (x-15)
Which is the desired factorization
