Question: how to find factors of a quadratic trinomial?
Answer: Remove Common Factors if possible.
If the coefficient of the x2 term is 1, then. x2 + bx + c = (x + n)(x + m), where n and m. · Multiply to give c. · Add to give b.
If the coefficient of the x2 term is not 1, then use either. Guess-and Check. List the factors of the coefficient of the x2 term.
