When 'c' is negative both p and q would have the same sign and when opposite signs whereas when b is positive and negative, both would have positive and negative signs respectively.
<h3>How the signs affect the factored form</h3>
The ways in which the signs of 'b' and 'c' affect the form include;
if c is negative, then p and q have opposite signs.
If c is positive, then p and q have the same signs.
If b is negative, both the signs of p and q would be negative.
Also, if b is positive, then the signs of both p and q would be positive.
