Question 59661
When a polynomial with a "-" (negative) sign on the last term is factored, what is always true about the signs of the factors? 

 a.both positive 
 b.both negative 
 {{{highlight(c)}}}.one positive and one negative 
 d.the signs do not matter 
You have to multiply two numbers to get the last term, if they're both the same sign the last term is positive, if they're different the last term is negative:
(x-3)(x-2)=x^2-5x+6
(x+3)(x+2)=x^2+5x+6
(x-3)(x+2)=x^2-x-6***
(x+3)(x-2)=x^2+x-6***
Happy Calculating!!!
