The given trinomial cannot be factored over the rational numbers. Depending on your instructions you can either declare the trinomial to be prime, or factor it over the irrationals. If your instructor expects you to factor it over the irrationals, set the trinomial equal to zero and solve using the quadratic formula. You will obtain two roots, and . The factors of the trinomial are then and .
