Question

For the trinomial x^2-11x+10 determine if the factors of c will will be both positive, both negative, or opposite signs.

Answer 1

Two negatives

Explanation:

I'm assuming by 'factors of c' you mean factors of the last term. For the entire trinomial, we know that there are two negative signs. To be able to get a negative 11x and then a positive 10, we would need two negatives, since two negatives equal a positive. Hope that helps!
