Use the ac test to determine if the trinomial can be factored.
x^2+2y-15
--------
Find two integers whose product is AC= -15
and whose sum is B=2
------------------
The numbers are 5 and -3
-------------------------
So the trinomial can be factored using the AC Method.
---------------------------
(x+5)(x-3)
------------
