i need help!!! Part 1. Create your own factorable trinomial. Part 2: Explain, in complete sentences, how the trinomial is factored. Part 3: Explain, in complete sentences, the process used to check the factors for accuracy. I already have the trinomial. i'm just confused with part 2 and 3
whats the answer for part 1
x^2+8x+15
now factor it
but how? im confused. D:
try making it as a square
\[(a+b)^{2}\]
like that, you know how to expand it, then do it again factor it
x^2+8x+15 - --- take 16 instead of 15
so you can make it as a (x+4)^2
i know that would be (X+3)(x+5) it says in part one to explain how it would be factored, how would i put that in words?
you need to look for two numbers that add up to make 8 and multiply to give 15
so 3 and 5 best fits that theorem
Remember that to factorise an expression we need to look for common factor pairs
In this example we are looking for two numbers that: multiply to give 15 add to give 8
bla bla bla, i don't know, try sth like that
lololol, thanks.
to check for accuracy, we again multiply our result
that's all
