First, write down two sets of parentheses to indicate the product.
( )( )
Since the first term in the trinomial is the product of the first terms of the binomials, you enter x as the first
term of each binomial.
(x )(x )
The product of the last terms of the binomials must equal -19.
and their sum must equal -18, and one of the binomials' terms has to be negative. Four different pairs of
factors have a product that equals -19.
Only two integers numbers with the product= -19 and sum= -18 is:
-19 and 1
So:
x^2+kx-19=(x-19)(x+1)=
x*x-19x+x-19= x^2-18x-19
k= -18
x^2 + kx - 19 Find all values of k so that each polynomial can be factored using integers.
