Factoring Polynomials Procedure

Factor pairs are (2,144) (3,96) (4,72) (6,48) (8,36) (9,32) (12,24) (16,18) Since the sign of the c term is negative, we look for a factor pair whose . difference. is 23, and we will assign a negative sign to the larger factor since the b term is negative. We select (9,-32). Note: Always. factor out the sign of the coefficient of the third term ... ................
