Look at the sign of the term of x.  This will tell you more information.  If it is positive while the constant term is negative, then the larger constant of the binomial is positive and the other is negative.


Assume h and k , and b and c are positive real numbers.
{{{x^2+bx+c=(x+h)(x+k)}}}, you know h and k are shown as ADDED to x.
{{{x^2-bx-c}}}  may  be either {{{(x-h)(x+k)}}}  OR  {{{(x+h)(x-k)}}}.
You must look at  hx and kx to see how the signs will work.
