Question

Find two different values that complete each expression so that the trinomial can be factored into the product of two binomials. Factor your trinomials.

4s (to the power of two) + [BLANK]s +10

Answer 1

4s² + 14s + 10
4s² + 4s + 10s + 10
2s(2s) + 2s(2) + 5(2s) + 5(2)
2s(2s + 2) + 5(2s + 2)
(2s + 5)(2s + 2)

4s² + 22s + 10
4s² + 20s + 2s + 10
2s(2s) + 2s(10) + 1(2s) + 1(10)
2s(2s + 10) + 1(2s + 10)
(2s + 1)(2s + 10)

It could be equal to 14 or 22.
