anonymous · Answer

(x+b)(x+c) and (ax+b)(x+c) idk how to put it in word form

anonymous · Answer

me neither girl :(

anonymous · Answer

To factor polynomials of the form x2 + bx + c, begin with two pairs of parentheses with x at the left of each. 
( x  )( x  )

Next, find two integers whose product is c and whose sum is b and place them at the right of the parentheses. 
Best way I can think it could be explained

They can be solved using the Quadratic Formula. $$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)}{2a }$$
