4n^2 -5n -6,,,,,factors of 4( 4*1, 2*2),, factors of 6 (6*1,,3*2),,,last term (-) means difference of
.
middle terms, or factors,,,, 2nd term (-) means largest factor multiple is (-)
.
(4n+3)(n-2)
.
F = 4n *n = 4n^2
.
O = 4n * -2 =-8n
.
I = n*3 =3n
.
L = 3*-2 = -6
.
combining middle terms ,,,,4n^2 -5n -6
