19 Factoring trinomials
A quadratic trinomial is a polynomial of the form
, a=0, where a represents the coefficient of the squared (second-degree)
term, b represents the coefficient of the linear (first-degree) term, and c represents the constant.
Positive coefficient
Rule #1.) If a leading coefficient of the trinomial
Start here first.
Factoring trinomial a whole leading coefficient is not 1:
is 1, we factor using the "sum-product game!" a=1, b=sum, c=product.
