Could you please help me factor the trinomial.

s^2-7s+12

1 answer

s^2-7s+12

Since the coefficient of s^2 is 1, the factors are of the form (s+/-?)(s+/-?)

What two numbers have a sum of 7 and a product of 12?

Clearly, 3 and 4.

SInce the sum is -7 and the product is +12, the only possibility is (s - 3)(s - 4)
