Test II. [Essay Type] 5 points.
Factoring general type of trinomials are divided into two forms. This are trinomials in the form
ax 2 +bx +c where a=1, and ax 2 +bx +c where a ≠ 1. Write what you have learned about each one,
including the step-by-step process on how factoring is done. Write your answers on separate
sheet.
For ax 2 +bx +c where a=1 For ax 2 +bx +c where a ≠ 1
Concepts Learned: Concepts Learned:

Give a trinomial of the form ax 2 +bx +c where Give a trinomial of the form ax 2 +bx +c where
a=1 and factor it completely. a ≠ 1 and factor it completely.
