Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
1.1 Factoring x2-14x-9
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -14x its coefficient is -14 .
The last term, "the constant", is -9
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -9 = -9
Step-2 : Find two factors of -9 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -14 .
-9 + 1 = -8
-3 + 3 = 0
-1 + 9 = 8
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
