:

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

4.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  2  as the denominator :

            22x2     22x2 • 2

    22x2 =  ————  =  ————————

             1          2    

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

4.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

22x2 • 2 - (25x2)      -17x2

—————————————————  =  —————

        2               2  

Equation at the end of step

:

  -17x2          

 (————— -  7x) +  5

    2

5

:

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

5.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  2  as the denominator :

         7x     7x • 2

   7x =  ——  =  ——————

         1        2  

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

5.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

-17x2 - (7x • 2)     -17x2 - 14x

————————————————  =  ———————————

       2                  2    

Equation at the end of step

5

:

 (-17x2 - 14x)    

 ————————————— +  5

       2          

STEP

6

:

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

6.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  2  as the denominator :

        5     5 • 2

   5 =  —  =  —————

        1       2  

STEP

7

:

Pulling out like terms :

7.1     Pull out like factors :

  -17x2 - 14x  =   -x • (17x + 14)

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

7.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

-x • (17x+14) + 5 • 2     -17x2 - 14x + 10

—————————————————————  =  ————————————————

          2                      2        

STEP

8

:

Pulling out like terms :

8.1     Pull out like factors :

  -17x2 - 14x + 10  =   -1 • (17x2 + 14x - 10)

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

8.2     Factoring  17x2 + 14x - 10

The first term is,  17x2  its coefficient is  17 .

The middle term is,  +14x  its coefficient is  14 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -10

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   17 • -10 = -170

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -170  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   14 .

     -170    +    1    =    -169

     -85    +    2    =    -83

     -34    +    5    =    -29

     -17    +    10    =    -7

     -10    +    17    =    7

     -5    +    34    =    29

     -2    +    85    =    83

     -1    +    170    =    169

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Final result :

 -17x2 - 14x + 10
