Question

180x^2 - 9 -35 middle term

Answer 1

Answer:

The first term is,  x2  its coefficient is  1 .

The middle term is,  -9x  its coefficient is  -9 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -180 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • -180 = -180 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -180  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -9 .

     -180   +   1   =   -179     -90   +   2   =   -88     -60   +   3   =   -57     -45   +   4   =   -41     -36   +   5   =   -31     -30   +   6   =   -24
