Identify Common Factors: Step Title: Identify Common Factors in Pairs of TermsConcise Step Description: Look for common factors in pairs of terms to simplify the expression by grouping.Step Calculation: The first two terms, 14p3 and −7p2, have a common factor of 7p2. The last two terms, 10p and −5, have a common factor of 5.Step Output: Grouped terms: (14p3−7p2)+(10p−5)
Factor Out Common Factors: Step Title: Factor Out the Common FactorsConcise Step Description: Factor out the common factors identified in the previous step from each pair of terms.Step Calculation: Factoring out 7p2 from the first group gives 7p2(2p−1). Factoring out 5 from the second group gives 5(2p−1).Step Output: Factored groups: 7p2(2p−1)+5(2p−1)
Factor by Grouping: Step Title: Factor by GroupingConcise Step Description: Since both groups contain the common binomial factor (2p−1), factor this out of the entire expression.Step Calculation: Factoring (2p−1) out of the entire expression gives (2p−1)(7p2+5).Step Output: Factored expression: (2p−1)(7p2+5)
