Question 92361: Use the ac test to determine which of the following trinomials can be factored. Find the values fo m and n for each trinomial that can be factored.
x^2 - 3x + 7

x^2 - 3x + 7
Just for your information---every quadratic can be factored.
What this is asking is if the quadratic cay be "easily" factored.
-------
If AC works:
You can find two numbers whose procuct = AC = 1*7= 7
and whose sum = B=-3
------------------
There are no such numbers easily found so the AC Method fails.
