Answer 1

a prime trinomial?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

ill have to look that up

Answer 4

ok.

Answer 5

ah - thats a trinomial that cannot be factored
one would be

x^2 + 2x - 7

- that cannot be written as (x + a)(x + b) where a and b are integers

Answer 6

ohh,,,ok . thanks alot!!!

Answer 7

in order to factor x^2 + cx + d a*b must equal d and a + d must = c where c and d are integers
this is not possible in the case x^2 + 2x - 7

Answer 8

you're welcome
