It seems that $ 4x^{2}+25x+195 $ cannot be factored out.
Step 1: Identify constants $ a $ , $ b $ and $ c $.
$ a $ is a number in front of the $ x^2 $ term $ b $ is a number in front of the $ x $ term and $ c $ is a constant. In this case:
Step 2: Multiply the leading coefficient $\color{blue}{ a = 4 }$ by the constant term $\color{blue}{c = 195} $.
$$ a \cdot c = 780 $$Step 3: Find out two numbers that multiply to $ a \cdot c = 780 $ and add to $ b = 25 $.
Step 4: All pairs of numbers with a product of $ 780 $ are:
PRODUCT = 780 | |
1 780 | -1 -780 |
2 390 | -2 -390 |
3 260 | -3 -260 |
4 195 | -4 -195 |
5 156 | -5 -156 |
6 130 | -6 -130 |
10 78 | -10 -78 |
12 65 | -12 -65 |
13 60 | -13 -60 |
15 52 | -15 -52 |
20 39 | -20 -39 |
26 30 | -26 -30 |
Step 5: Find out which factor pair sums up to $\color{blue}{ b = 25 }$
Step 6: Because none of these pairs will give us a sum of $ \color{blue}{ 25 }$, we conclude the polynomial cannot be factored.
