Answer:  C) Find the factors of c that add up to b.

==============================================

Explanation:

If we want to factor something in the form x^2+bx+c, then we look for two numbers that

  • Multiply to c
  • Add to b

-------------

Let's look at a specific example

Consider factoring x^2+5x+6

We need to find two numbers that...

  • Multiply to c = 6
  • Add to b = 5

Through trial and error, you should find the two numbers to be 3 and 2. This means it factors to (x+3)(x+2). The order of the factors doesn't matter.

You can use the FOIL rule or the box method to expand out (x+3)(x+2). You should get x^2+5x+6 again.

What is the slope of the line that passes through (-3,2) and (1,2)
TEA [102]
(-3,2)(1,2)...notice that the y values are the same.....when the y values are the same u have a horizontal line with a 0 slope.

IF the x values would have been the same (instead of the y values), then u would have had a vertical line with an undefined slope.

-10x+4.
5x-7x is -2.
-2x-8x is -10x.
you cannot simplify the 4

alternatively, you could write -10x+4 as
-2(5x-2)
