Answer 1

You would find two numbers that when added would be the sum and when multiples it would equal teh given product. For example, q) is -4 and -5 since when added they equal -9 and when you multiple they become 20.

Answer 2

Answer: To factor a trinomial in the form x2 + bx + c, find two integers, r and s, whose product is c and whose sum is b. Rewrite the trinomial as x2 + rx + sx + c and then use grouping and the distributive property to factor the polynomial. The resulting factors will be (x + r) and (x + s).
