$\"\"$

\

The expression is $\"\"$ .

\

In this trinomial, $\"\"$ .Since c is negative, the factors m and p have opposite signs.

\

So either m or p is negative, but not both. Since b is positive, the factor with the greater absolute value is also positive.

\

List the factors of $\"\"$ , where one factor of each pair is negative.

\

Look for the pair of factors with a sum of 8.
