List, in order, all the steps you take when using the 鈥� $a c$ 鈥� method to factor a trinomial of the form $a x^{2} + b x + c$ .

Short Answer

Expert verified

First, find the product of $a c$ . Then find two numbers $m$ and $n$ such that $m + n = b$ and role="math" localid="1653653421085" $m 路 n = a 路 c$ . Then split the middle term using $m$ and $n$ and factor them by grouping.

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given Information

We are given a trinomial of the form $a x^{2} + b x + c$ . We need list the steps to factor the trinomial using the $a c$ method.

Step 2. List the steps

The first step in factoring the trinomial $a x^{2} + b x + c$ using the" $a c$ " method is to find the product $a c$ .

The next step involves finding two numbers $m$ and $n$ which multiply to $a c$ that is $m 路 n = a 路 c$ , and which adds to $b$ that is $m + n = b$ .

Then we split the middle term using the numbers $m$ and $n$ and then factor the polynomial by grouping the terms.
