How to factor: 0 = 2x^2 - 5x + 2 This is what I have so far - Factor by grouping: Multiply the first coefficient 2, by the last coefficient 2 2 * 2 = 4 Find the product of 4, and the sum of the middle term -5 -1 * -4 = 4 and -1 + -4 = -5 Put the two new numbers in place of the middle term in the trinomial: 0 = 2x^2 - 4 - 5 + 2 Split the equation in half and group: x^2 - 4 and -5 + 2 Now I am lost.
