Question 194715
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


In a word, you don't.  This quadratic trinomial does not factor over the integers.  How do I know?  Square the coefficient on the first degree term -- 5 squared is 25.  Multiply -4 times the coefficient on the high order term times the constant, -4 times 2 times -6 is 48.  Combine that with the previous result, 25 plus 48 = 73.  73 is NOT a perfect square, so the polynomial doesn't factor over the integers.
