Pulling out like terms

3.1     Pull out like factors :

  5x2 - 45x + 90  =   5 • (x2 - 9x + 18)  

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

3.2     Factoring  x2 - 9x + 18  

The first term is,  x2  its coefficient is  1 .

The middle term is,  -9x  its coefficient is  -9 .

The last term, "the constant", is  +18  

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • 18 = 18  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  18  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -9 .

     -18    +    -1    =    -19  

     -9    +    -2    =    -11  

     -6    +    -3    =    -9    That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -6  and  -3  

                    x2 - 6x - 3x - 18

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   x • (x-6)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   3 • (x-6)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (x-3)  •  (x-6)

            Which is the desired factorization
