The trinomial expression is
.
The trinomial compare to general trinomial expression:
, So x = d, b =
7, c = 10.
To find two numbers with a sum of
7 and a product of 10.
This trinomial list of the factors of 10, and look for the pair of factors is a sum of
7.
| Factors of 10 | \Sum of factors | \

9 \ | \
The correct factors are
5 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 sings is negative)
Check:
\To check the solution by multiply the two factors.
\
(Using FOIL method)
(Product of two different sings is negative)
(Product of two same sings is positive)
Combine like terms using distributive property: ac + bc = (a + b)c.
\

The solution is "true".
