Many trinomials can be factored with integer solutions (roots). Please choose the correct factored form. x2 + 8x + 7 = 0 (x + 7) (x - 1) (x + 7) (x + 1) (x - 7) (x - 1) Some trinomials like x2 + 8x + 5 = 0 do not factor. When this happens, use the QUADRATIC FORMULA: Quadratic Formula: a = b = c = x2 + 15x + 26 = 0 Fill in the blanks a = b = c = Plug the a,b, and c values into the quadratic formula: - 1 15 26 x2 + 15x + 26 = 0 ∓ √ 2 Quadratic Formula: * 2 - 4 * * Quadratic Formula: a = b = c = 4x2 - 15x + 2 = 0 Fill in the blanks a = b = c = Plug the a,b, and c values into the quadratic formula: - 4 -15 2 4x2 - 15x + 2 = 0 ∓ √ 2 Quadratic Formula: * 2 - 4 * * Quadratic Formula: a = b = c = x2 + 2 = 0 Fill in the blanks a = b = c = Plug the a,b, and c values into the quadratic formula: - 1 0 2 ∓ √ x2 + 2 = 0 2 Quadratic Formula: * 2 - 4 * * Quadratic Formula: a = b = c = 7x2 - 2x = 0 Fill in the blanks a = b = c = Plug the a,b, and c values into the quadratic formula: - 7 -2 0 ∓ 7x2 - 2x = 0 √ 2 Quadratic Formula: * 2 - 4 * * |
