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, 1, and −5.Step Calculation: Coefficients are 6, 1, −5Step Output: Coefficients: 6, 1, −5
Find Pair of Numbers: Step Title: Find the Pair of NumbersConcise 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 1.Step Calculation: The pair of numbers that multiply to −30 and add up to 1 are 6 and −5.Step Output: Pair of numbers: 6, −5
Rewrite Middle Term: Step Title: Rewrite the Middle TermConcise Step Description: Rewrite the middle term using the pair of numbers found in the previous step.Step Calculation: Rewrite the equation as 6x2+6x−5x−5.Step Output: Rewritten equation: 6x2+6x−5x−5
Factor by Grouping: Step Title: Factor by GroupingConcise Step Description: Group the terms into two pairs and factor out the greatest common factor from each pair.Step Calculation: Factor out 3x from the first pair and −1 from the second pair to get 3x(2x+2)−1(2x+2).Step Output: Factored by grouping: 3x(2x+2)−1(2x+2)
Factor Out Common Binomial: Step Title: Factor Out the Common Binomial FactorConcise Step Description: Factor out the common binomial factor from the two groups.Step Calculation: Factor out (2x+2) to get (2x+2)(3x−1).Step Output: Factored completely: (2x+2)(3x−1)
