how to factor trinomials

In this blog we will learn about how to factor trinomials,we can understand this with the help of an example,

Factor trinomial calculator Method 1:

If the coefficient of x² is one. That is a=1.

x²+bx+c=(x-r₁)(x-r₂), In this r₁ and r₂ are the roots of the trinomial equation

(x - r₁) and (x - r₂) are the factors of the trinomial.

Example Problems:

The following problem will help you understand the factoring trinomial calculator method 1.

Example 1:

Find the factors of the following trinomial. x²- 10 x +16

Solution:

16 (product)

/ \

- 8 - 2

\ /

-10 (sum)

x²- 10 x +16 = x² - 2x - 8x +16

= x ( x-2 ) - 8( x-2 )

= ( x - 8 ) ( x - 2 )

So the factors of the given trinomial is (x-8) and (x-2).In the next blog we will learn about monomials and area of cirlce.
