Trinomial+Where+a+≠+1


 * // what is a trinomial? A x 2 + //** //** B **// **// x + //** **// C //**


 * __Step 1:__** Multiply **//A//** and //**C**//.


 * __Step 2:__** Find two factors that have a product of **//A//** and **//C//** but a sum of **//B.//**


 * __ Step 3: __** Rewrite the equation and split the term **// B x //** using two factors (sets of parentheses), and group the first two and last two terms.

__** Step 4: **__ Factor out the **//GCF//** from each group, and rewrite the two factors.

__** Step 5: **__ The binomial in both parentheses should be the same. If so, rewrite that in parentheses and group together the two //**GCF**//s in parentheses also to find your answer.

example 1: 2x 2 - 7x + 6 2x 2 - 3x - 4x + 6 (2x 2 -3x)(-4x+6) x(2x-3) -2(2x-3) (2x-3)(x-2)

example 2: 3x 2 - 14x - 24 3x 2 - 18x + 4x -24 (3x 2 -18x)(4x-24) 3x(x-6) 4(x-6)
