How to Factor 4p^2+4p-5

4p^2 + 4p - 5

As the expression cannot be factored in it's current form, we need to check if splitting the middle term is possible.

List factors of - 20.

-5 * 4

5 * - 4

-10 * 2

10 * - 2

-20 * 1

20 * - 1

None of the factors added together result in positive 4.

Because splitting the middle term is not possible, and we cannot simplify this expression any further:

This expression cannot be fully factored.
