It makes sense. But I feel this is way too complicated than what I usually did. For the second sample, I know 7 can only be 1*7, so I factor 6 to 2*3, then I see 2*(-7)+3*(-1)=-17, so I get (2x-1)(3x-7). Then I expand it to test if I get it right ✅ For students who can’t do it like I do, this box is still helpful.
It does matter, the two factors can only go in either the top-right box or the bottom-left box. The top-left box must be where the x^2 term goes, and the bottom-right box must be where the constant term goes.
I will be joining for sure!!!!
what do you do when you can't find any numbers that multiplies or adds to any?
It’s possible that it is not factorable…if it is an equation set equal to zero and it is a quadratic you could use the quadratic formula.

I am an "adult learner" and this tutoring is breath of fresh air!!! Could've used this site last weekend when factoring numbers that were MONSTERS!!!!
Wow, this video onFactoring Trinomials is so informative! I appreciate the detailed breakdown and the insights you've shared here.
You’re welcome! Glad you liked the video!
Thank you! My child missed remembering a key step in this process. And Algebra trinomial factoring has changed since I took it! Lol
Glad it helped!
finally understand it

thanks🎉
You’re welcome!
it makes sense to me it’s just so hard finding the right numbers ;(( do you have any tips?
Make a prime factorization tree that will help
I know that you said it does not matter where I put the two factors in the box but I like to know for sure. Any tips?

i think it does matter, if the number you got are in same order, you need to switch them so you can find the gcf
great!
Fanyastic! Thanks.
You’re welcome!
how do you do this
he just explained
Thank you so much my teacher should teach this method
You are very welcome
