Question

Can someone help me better understand this information.
Explain how to factor the following trinomials forms:
a. x^2 + bx + c
and
b. ax^2 + bx + c.

Answer 1

lets take an example of each

\[x^2 + 2x + 1\]

\[= x^2 + x + x + 1\]

\[= x(x+ 1) + 1(x+1)\]

\[=(x+1)(x+1)\]

\[=(x+1)^2\]

Answer 2

Breaking it down that way makes it easier for me to understand it. I believe the variables throw me off.

Answer 3

practice will make u perfect

Answer 4

\[4x^2 + 12 x + 9\]

\[4x^2 + 6x + 6x + 9\]

\[2x(2x + 3) + 3(2x + 3)\]

\[(2x+3)(2x+3)\]

\[(2x+3)^2\]

Answer 5

clear ?
