what do you get when you multiply your first and list numbers together?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

*last number that is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x^(2)+7x+5 Find the factors such that the product of the factors is the trinomial 2x^(2)+7x+5. This can be done by trial and error and checked using the FOIL method of simplifying polynomials. (2x+5)(x+1)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the last sign is a "+" which tells us we got to add some numbers and what are the factors of 10? that add up to 7?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

this way will always work if there are integer solutions; otherwise we gotta resort to more drastic measures :)

alr. coooooooooool =0)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

even tho "math" has a good result; what factors of 10 would you say add up to 7?
