Description
Factor: 48m^2-119m-24
Explanation & Answer
Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 48 • -24 = -1152
Step-2 : Find two factors of -1152 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -119 .
We get -128 and +9
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -128 and 9
48m2 - 128m + 9m - 24
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
16m * (3m-8)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 * (3m-8)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(16m+3) • (3m-8)
ANSWER
(3m-8) (16m+3)
