Question 94072: Please help me with this equation. use the ac test to determine if the following trinomial can be factored. I am not sure how to solve this equation. Answer by Nate(3500) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! for
a = 1 and c = 3
ac = 3
Factors of 3 that sum to b ... (2)?
3: 1,3
Nope ... no easy way to factor
... if you meant x^2 + 3x + 2
x^2 + 2x + x + 2
(x^2 + 2x) + (x + 2)
x(x + 2) + 1(x + 2)
(x + 1)(x + 2)
