Factor Trinomials      x²+bx+c Type      Fun Game Help Tips:

- When you factor the trinomial x²+5x+6 the answer is (x+2)(x+3) .
   From the answer, notice that '2 add 3' = 5 and that '2 times 3' = 6 .

- In general, when you factor the trinomial x²+bx+c the answer is (x+s)(x+t) ,
   where the 's add t' = b and the 's times t' = c .

- This means the question x²+bx+c can be thought of as x²+(s+t)x+st .
   You can check the answer by multiplying (x+s)(x+t) together.

- Similarly, when you factor the trinomial x²-5x+6 the answer is (x-2)(x-3).
   From the answer, notice that '-2 add -3' = -5 and that '-2 times -3' = +6 .

- Also, when you factor the trinomial x²-x-6 the answer is (x+2)(x-3).
   From the answer, notice that '+2 add -3' = -1 and that '+2 times -3' = -6 .
