Answer:
x2-2x-35
Final result :
(x + 5) • (x - 7)
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.1 Factoring x2-2x-35
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -2x its coefficient is -2 .
The last term, "the constant", is -35
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -35 = -35
Step-2 : Find two factors of -35 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -2 .
-35 + 1 = -34
-7 + 5 = -2 That's it
Step-by-step explanation: 2+48-21
Final Result :
29
(I know there isnt any real problem here to solve, but heres a tip on how to solve greatest to least with decimal problems)
1. Just because a number looks big, doesn't mean it is big
Example: 1.00000000000001 < 1.1
just look at the numbers ^ and dont just hastily read it over assuming that 1.1 is smaller because it "has less digits"
2. Negative numbers are... opposite. and they are less than positive numbers
-3.4 > -4.1
Why is this? Well, if you look on a line, with the point 0 in the middle, you can see that -3.4 is not as far away from 0 as -4.1 is. So the idea is to apply opposite logic for negative numbers
I hope these tips helped!! :D
