Part 1:
explain how a trinomial of the form 2x2 + 13x + 15 can be turned into a four term polynomial suitable for factoring by grouping. Use complete sentences.

Part 2:
If you were an Algebra 1 instructor and were creating a test on factoring trinomials of the form ax2 + bx + c, what do you think would be the easiest way to create a trinomial that can be factored? Provide one unique example.

anonymous · Answer

$$2x ^{2}+13x+15$$
2*15=30
10*3=30
10+3=13
when multiplication of a & c is positive then break b in two parts say p & q
then p+q=b & p*q=a*c
