Answer:

9x^2 + 5x + 6

Explanation:

(((((6•(x2))-2x)+8)+3x2)+7x)-2

Equation at the end of step 2 :

(((((2•3x2) - 2x) + 8) + 3x2) + 7x) - 2

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

3.1 Factoring 9x2+5x+6

The first term is, 9x2 its coefficient is 9 .

The middle term is, +5x its coefficient is 5 .

The last term, "the constant", is +6

Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 9 • 6 = 54

Find two factors of 54 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 5 .

-54 + -1 = -55

-27 + -2 = -29

-18 + -3 = -21

-9 + -6 = -15

-6 + -9 = -15

-3 + -18 = -21

-2 + -27 = -29

-1 + -54 = -55

1 + 54 = 55

2 + 27 = 29

3 + 18 = 21

6 + 9 = 15

9 + 6 = 15

18 + 3 = 21

27 + 2 = 29

54 + 1 = 55

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Final result :

9x^2 + 5x + 6
