<h2>Factoring</h2><h3>Concept</h3>
Reverse factor a quadratic polynomial in order to find its intercepts.
<h3>Utilization</h3>
When reverse factoring a quadratic polynomial, you want to find factors of <em>c</em>, which add up to be <em>b</em>. In this instance, you are looking for factors of 14, that add up to be 9.
Factors of 14:
14, 1
<u>7, 2</u>
7,2 can add up to be 9 - thus, we have found our factor.
(x+7)(x+2)
From here, to find the intercepts, you simple solve for x:
x = -7
x = -2
<h3>Answer</h3>
x = -7
x = -2
