Question

Factor the following trinomial:

2x^2 + 13x + 18

Answer 1

do you know what a trinomial is?

Answer 2

yes, 3 terms...I guess that's how you say it.

Answer 3

... ummm I can try to give an example...
like 2x^2 + 7x + 6 factors to (x+2)(2x+3)
because the middle terms (4x) and outer terms (3x) add up to (7x)
and the first terms (x)(2x) = 2x^2
and the last terms (2)(3) = 6
if that makes any sense? :/

Answer 4

Yes, I mostly understand it, I just need to figure out which factors to use. Lemme try them.

Answer 5

(2x+9)(x+2)

Answer 6

yep! :D

Answer 7

yaaaaaay !! lol
