Question 730904
Post a problem so we can help you out.


The basic idea is to find two numbers that multiply to c AND also add to b at the same time. This will help you factor.


Example:


Factor x^2 + 5x + 6


Find two numbers that multiply to 6 AND add to 5. The two numbers are <font color="red">3</font> and <font color="green">2</font>, so it factors to (x+<font color="red">3</font>)(x+<font color="green">2</font>)
