Identify Coefficients: Step Title: Identify the CoefficientsConcise Step Description: Identify the coefficients of the quadratic equation, which are the numbers in front of the variables. In this case, the coefficients are 6, −13, and −5.Step Calculation: Coefficients are 6, −13, −5Step Output: Coefficients: 6, −13, −5
Find Factors: Step Title: Find the FactorsConcise Step Description: Find two numbers that multiply to the product of the first and last coefficients 6×−5=−30 and add to the middle coefficient −13.Step Calculation: Factors of −30 that add up to −13 are −15 and +2.Step Output: Factors: −15, +2
Rewrite Middle Term: Step Title: Rewrite the Middle TermConcise Step Description: Rewrite the middle term using the factors found in the previous step.Step Calculation: 6x2−15x+2x−5Step Output: Rewritten quadratic: 6x2−15x+2x−5
Factor by Grouping: Step Title: Factor by GroupingConcise Step Description: Group the terms into two pairs and factor out the common factors from each pair.Step Calculation: (6x2−15x)+(2x−5), factor out 3x from the first group and 1 from the second group.Step Output: 3x(2x−5)+1(2x−5)
Factor Out Common Binomial: Step Title: Factor Out the Common BinomialConcise Step Description: Factor out the common binomial factor from the two groups.Step Calculation: (2x−5)(3x+1)Step Output: Factored Form: (2x−5)(3x+1)
