Answer:
-x • (x2 - 5x + 1) • (3x - 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
STEP
1: Equation at the end of step 1
(((x2) - 5x) + 1) • (4x - 3x2)
STEP2:STEP
2:Pulling out like terms
Pull out like factors :
4x - 3x2 = -x • (3x - 4)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
Factoring x2 - 5x + 1
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -5x its coefficient is -5 .
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 -5 .
-1 + -1 = -2
1 + 1 = 2
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
