Mathematics for IGCSE & O level - Algebraic Manipulation (Section 7 - No. 41)

In the expression ax²+bx+c, how would you identify factors of the form if a != 1?

Identify factors of a and c.

Determine the factors of c.

Determine the factors of ac.

Determine the factors of b.

When a != 1, you must identify the factors of the product 'ac' to determine the combinations to factorize.
