Factoring Trinomials Factoring Trinomials where a ≠ 1 where a ≠ 1

Follow these steps:Follow these steps:1. Find two numbers that multiply to ac 1. Find two numbers that multiply to ac

and add to b for axand add to b for ax22 + bx + c + bx + c 2. Replace bx with the sum of the 2 2. Replace bx with the sum of the 2

factors found in step 1. factors found in step 1. ie: axie: ax22 + bx + c becomes ax + bx + c becomes ax22 + mx + nx + c, + mx + nx + c,

where m and n are the factors found in step where m and n are the factors found in step 1.1.
