The trinomial expression is
.
The trinomial compare to general trinomial expression:
, So a = 5, b =
17, c = 14.
To find two numbers with a sum of
17 and a product of
.
This trinomial list of the factors of 70, and look for the pair of factors is a sum of
17.
| Factors of 70 | \Sum of factor | \
| \
| \
\
| \
The correct factors are
7 and
10.
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
.

Group terms with common factors.
\
Combine like terms using distributive property: ac
bc = (a
b)c.

Check:
\To check the solution by multiply the two factors.
