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 squared - 3x + 7
Find two numbers whose product is 7 and whose sum is -3.
Answer: No such numbers exist.
The quadratic cannot be factored using the AC Method.
It can be factored using the Quadratic Formula.
