Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.1 Factoring x2-7x+11
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -7x its coefficient is -7 .
The last term, "the constant", is +11
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 11 = 11
Step-2 : Find two factors of 11 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -7 .
-11 + -1 = -12
-1 + -11 = -12
1 + 11 = 12
11 + 1 = 12
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.2 Factoring x2-11x+30
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -11x its coefficient is -11 .
The last term, "the constant", is +30
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 30 = 30
Step-2 : Find two factors of 30 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -11 .
-30 + -1 = -31
-15 + -2 = -17
-10 + -3 = -13
-6 + -5 = -11 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -6 and -5
x2 - 6x - 5x - 30
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-6)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
5 • (x-6)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x-5) • (x-6)
Which is the desired factorization
