You can put this solution on YOUR website! use the ac test to determine which of the following trinomials can be factored. find the values of m and n for each trinomial that can be factored.
x^2-3x+7
----------
Think of two numbers whose product = AC = 1*7= 7
And whose sum = B = -3
-------------------------
No two integers will satisfy these conditions so the
quadratic is considered to be not factorable using
the AC Method.
------------
It can be factored but not with the AC Method.
