I award medals :) Can you please tell me 2 binomials that equal x^2+20x+15 when multiplied together?

Question

Well if you can factor this, you'll get one of the answers. Since when you square negative numbers, the negative sign goes away, you can simply multiply that answer by -1 to find the other one.

? how do you find binomials? I know (x+#)(x+#) will give me the answer but I can't find the right numbers. I will keep trying though.

kainui · Answer

Good, well do you know how to complete the square or use the quadratic formula? That will give you an answer.

anonymous · Answer

Yes I know how. But I have to set it = to 0 so like x^2+20x+15=0

anonymous · Answer

The instructions I found online said first you have to factor the trinomial and get 2 binomials. That is the step I am on.

anonymous · Answer

(x+10)(x+10) doesn't work. neither does (x+1)(x+19) or (x+5)(x-3) or any of the other 10 I have tried

anonymous · Answer

nevermind. I am changing the function. Thanks for trying to help while you could
