Pulling out like terms
3.1 Pull out like factors :
7ax2 + 14ax + 7a = 7a • (x2 + 2x + 1)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring x2 + 2x + 1
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, +2x its coefficient is 2 .
The last term, "the constant", is +1
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 1 = 1
Step-2 : Find two factors of 1 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 2 . -1 + -1 = -2
1 + 1 = 2 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, 1 and 1
x2 + 1x + 1x + 1
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x+1)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (x+1)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+1) • (x+1)
Which is the desired factorization
Multiplying Exponential Expressions:
3.3 Multiply (x+1) by (x+1)
The rule says : To multiply exponential expressions which have the same base, add up their exponents.
In our case, the common base is (x+1) and the exponents are :
1 , as (x+1) is the same number as (x+1)1
and 1 , as (x+1) is the same number as (x+1)1
The product is therefore, (x+1)(1+1) = (x+1)2
Final result :
7a • (x + 1)2

Answer :
7ax^2 + 14 ax + 7a = 0
By factorizing :
➜ 7ax^2 + 7ax + 7ax + 7a = 0
➜7ax(x + 1) + 7a(x + 1) = 0
➜(7ax +7 a)(x + 1) = 0
Equating both side the factors to zero to find their roots :
➜x = - 1
➜x = - 1
