$\"\"$

The polynomial expression is $\"\"$ .

This is not a perfect square trinomial.

The trinomial compare to general trinomial expression: $\"\"$ , So a = 8, b = $\"\"$ 18, c = $\"\"$ 35.

To find two numbers with a sum of $\"\"$ 18 and a product of $\"\"$ .

This trinomial list of the factors of $\"\"$ 280, and look for the pair of factors is a sum of $\"\"$ 18.

280

Sum of factors

$\"\"$ 7, 40

10, $\"\"$ 28

$\"\"$ 18

The correct factors are 10 and $\"\"$ 28. $\"\"$

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.

$\"\"$ (Using FOIL method)

Product of two different sings is a negative.

$\"\"$

Combine like terms using distributive property: ac + bc = (a + b)c.

$\"\"$

The solution is "true". $\"\"$

The solution is $\"\"$ .
