Hi @heatherm9 , please post your question, is it Maths?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Part 1: In your own words, explain how a trinomial of the form 2x2 + 13x + 15 can be turned into a four term polynomial suitable for factoring by grouping. Use complete sentences. Part 2: 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.

\[2x^2 + 13x + 15\] Whenever you have a quadratic of the form \[ax^2+bx+c\] To factor it, we'll split the middle term into two terms Let's see how we can do that

First Step Find a*c here we have a=2, c=15 so \(a\times c=2\times 15=30\) What's b here? @heatherm9

im sorrry but i have no idea :(

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Compare the two equations \[ax^2+bx+c\] \[2x^2+13x+15\] here we have a=2, c=15 so what's b?
