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 5The 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 factoredFinal result : 5b² - 4b + 6
