factor(2z^{2}+z-11)
Combine z^{2} and z^{2} to get 2z^{2}.
2z^{2}+z-11=0
Quadratic polynomial can be factored using the transformation ax^{2}+bx+c=a\left(x-x_{1}\right)\left(x-x_{2}\right), where x_{1} and x_{2} are the solutions of the quadratic equation ax^{2}+bx+c=0.
z=\frac{-1±\sqrt{1^{2}-4\times 2\left(-11\right)}}{2\times 2}
All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. The quadratic formula gives two solutions, one when ± is addition and one when it is subtraction.
z=\frac{-1±\sqrt{1-4\times 2\left(-11\right)}}{2\times 2}
Square 1.
z=\frac{-1±\sqrt{1-8\left(-11\right)}}{2\times 2}
Multiply -4 times 2.
z=\frac{-1±\sqrt{1+88}}{2\times 2}
Multiply -8 times -11.
z=\frac{-1±\sqrt{89}}{2\times 2}
Add 1 to 88.
z=\frac{-1±\sqrt{89}}{4}
Multiply 2 times 2.
z=\frac{\sqrt{89}-1}{4}
Now solve the equation z=\frac{-1±\sqrt{89}}{4} when ± is plus. Add -1 to \sqrt{89}.
z=\frac{-\sqrt{89}-1}{4}
Now solve the equation z=\frac{-1±\sqrt{89}}{4} when ± is minus. Subtract \sqrt{89} from -1.
2z^{2}+z-11=2\left(z-\frac{\sqrt{89}-1}{4}\right)\left(z-\frac{-\sqrt{89}-1}{4}\right)
Factor the original expression using ax^{2}+bx+c=a\left(x-x_{1}\right)\left(x-x_{2}\right). Substitute \frac{-1+\sqrt{89}}{4} for x_{1} and \frac{-1-\sqrt{89}}{4} for x_{2}.

Combine z^{2} and z^{2} to get 2z^{2}.
