ok a is given in our scenario
:
F is made up of x multiplied by itself.
is made up of factors of c multiplied by 1x and combined
:
L is factors of c multiplied together
:
for example
:

:
F=1x*1x
O=
I=
L=
:
meaning when you reverse FOIL that the first part of factors making up a polynomial of the type is 1x and the last part of the factors comes from factors of c, which when combined with x make up the coefficient of b.
:
hence the factors are (x+2)(x+3)
