Factoring is trial and error. \n" ); document.write( "Having someone do it for you is pointless. \n" ); document.write( "============= \n" ); document.write( "6t^2 + 25t +11 \n" ); document.write( "Notice everything is positive. \n" ); document.write( "It'll be \n" ); document.write( "(at + b)*(ct + d) \n" ); document.write( "b*d = 11, the only factors are 1 & 11, \n" ); document.write( "so it's either (t + b)*(11t + d) \n" ); document.write( "or (11t + b)*(t + d) \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "a & c can be 1 & 6, or 2 & 3 \n" ); document.write( "Find a combination that gives 25t. \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "That's how they're done. \n" ); document.write( " |
