5b²
-4b+6 Final result :
5b²
- 4b + 6 Step by step solution :
Step 1 :Equation at the end of step 1 : (5b²
- 4b) + 6
Step 2 :Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 5b²-4b+6
The first term is, 5b² its coefficient is 5
The middle term is, -4b its coefficient is -4
The last term, "the constant", is +6
Step-1: Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 5 • 6 = 30
Step-2: Find two factors of 30 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -4
Observation: No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Final result : 5b² - 4b + 6
