Factoring method for quadratic polynomials
just try your best and see if you can figure it out.So, having trouble factoring polynomials with x squared coefficients of more than one? Let's just say you can't find two numbers that added together ... ber. First of all, apply the discriminate test--b2-4ac--to see if it indeed can be factored. If the square root of this value is not an integer (rather, if it is a decimal), it cannot be factored; it ...
