If you were an Algebra 1 instructor and were creating a test on factoring trinomials of the form ax2 + bx + c, what do you think would be the easiest way to create a trinomial that can be factored? Provide one unique example

Question

zepp · Answer

Make something of the form $a(x-k)^2+h$ and expand.

anonymous · Answer

i'd work backward... and multiply this out:
a(x - M) (x - N)

zepp · Answer

Oh yeah, or just pick 2 numbers

Let's say 3 and 4

Summed = 7
Multiplied = 12

$x^2+3x+4x+12$

zepp · Answer

or $\large 2x^2+3x+4x+6$
