This has a negative middle term and a positive constant end term\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It must have the form
\n" ); document.write( " (x - ) * (x - )\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I need factors of 24 that add to 11\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "24 and 1; 12 and 2; 6 and 4 don't work\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8 and 3 do work\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x-8)* (x-3) ANSWER\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Foil it out\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x^2 -8x -3x +24 = x^2 -11x +24
\n" ); document.write( "
