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