The trinomial expression is
.
Compare to genaral trinomial expression:
, So x = t, a = 2, b =
11, c = 7.
To find two numbers with a sum of
3 and a product of 2.
This trinomial list of the factors of 2, and look for the pair of factors is a sum of
3.
| Factors of 2 | \Sum of factors | \
| \
1, 2 \ | \
\
3 \ | \
The correct factors are
1 and
2.
To factor trinomials of the form
, find two integers, m and n, with a sum equal to b and a product equal to c.
Then write
as (x + m)(x + n).

(Product of two different signs is negative)
Check:
\To check the solution by multiply the two factors.
\
(Using FOIL method)
(Product of two different signs is negative)
(Product of two same signs is positive)
Combine like terms using distributive property: ac + bc = (a + b)c.
\
(Add: 1 + 2 = 3)
The solution is "true".
\The solution is
.
