When factoring a polynomial in the form ax2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are positive real numbers, the signs in the binomials should be both positive

<h3>What are quadratic equations?</h3>

Quadratic equations are second-order polynomial equations and they have the form y = ax^2 + bx + c or y = a(x - h)^2 + k

<h3>How to determine the true statement?</h3>

The form of the polynomial is given as:

ax2 + bx + c

Where a, b, and c are positive real numbers.

Since a, b, and c are positive real numbers. then the form of the expansion would be:

ax2 + bx + c = (dx + e)(fx + g)

<h3>Example to verify the claim</h3>

Take for instance, we have the following quadratic equation

x^2 + 6x + 8

Expand the equation

x^2 + 6x + 8 = x^2 + 4x + 2x + 8

Factorize the equation

x^2 + 6x + 8 = (x + 2)(x + 4)

Hence, the signs in the binomials should be both positive
