Question

if x^2+bx+13 is factorable, what are the only 2 possible values for b?

Answer 1

ok, what r the factors of 13?

Answer 2

1 right

Answer 3

13 into 1 = 13

Answer 4

right so the only 2 possible values for b would be 13, 1?

Answer 5

also, -13 into -1 = 13

Answer 6

no noo

Answer 7

ok. so the two possible values for b would be what

Answer 8

x^2+13x+ x +13

x^2 -13x - x +13

Answer 9

so +13 and -13?

Answer 10

are the only two possible values for b

Answer 11

x^2+13x+ x +13
x^2+14x +13


x^2 -13x - x +13
x^2 -14x +13

14 and -14

Answer 12

14 and -14 is the answer?

Answer 13

yes
