step 1
Write down all THE factor pairs of
your "c"value. A factorpair is two
numbers that,
multiplied
together, equal
that number.
STEP 4
Solve each factor by moving the
constant over to the other side of the
equation.
STEP 3
Put that factor pair into
two binomials.
EXAMPLE:
X4+11x3+30x2=0
x2(x2+11x+30)=0
x2(x+6) (x+5)=0
x2=0 x=0
x+6=0 x=-6
x=5=0 x=-5
