0. Identify b and c: b = 11, c = 24
0. Identify b and c: b = 11, c = 24
- Find factor pairs of c
hint, start with 1, then 2, 3, etc until it wraps
if you already know the factor pair that matches, you can skip to step 2 without finding all factor pairs
2. c is positive: add factor pairs to match b
2. c is positive: add factor pairs to match b
f1 = 8
f2 = 3
note: if no factor pairs match b, then it is not factorable
3. Write pair in factored form.
3. Write pair in factored form.
Both add since b is positive.
Both add since b is positive.
(x + f1)(x + f2)
TClark hint: generally the bigger number goes first in my examples, but the order doesn't matter.
