Split the middle term: x^2 + 9x - 1620. |
|
Answer» Step-by-step explanation: The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 . The middle term is, +9X its coefficient is 9 . The last term, "the constant", is -1620 Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -1620 = -1620 Step-2 : Find two factors of -1620 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 9 . -1620 + 1 = -1619 -810 + 2 = -808 -540 + 3 = -537 -405 + 4 = -401 -324 + 5 = -319 -180 + 9 = -171 -162 + 10 = -152 -135 + 12 = -123 -108 + 15 = -93 -90 + 18 = -72 -81 + 20 = -61 -60 + 27 = -33 -54 + 30 = -24 -45 + 36 = -9 -36 + 45 = 9 |
