Factoring the quadratics

From the question, we are to factor the given trinomials

The given trinomial is

x² + 6x - 7

The trinomial is a quadratic expression. The trinomial/ quadratic expression can be factored as a product of two binomial. When factored, the trinomial will take the form (x + a)(x + b)

Where are a and b are integers.

Factoring the trinomial

x² + 6x - 7

To factor the trinomial, we will find two numbers such that when added, we get the middle term; and when these numbers are multiplied we get the constant term.

The numbers that satisfy this condition are +1x and -7x

x² +x -7x - 7

x (x + 1) -7(x +1)

(x -7)(x +1)

Hence, the factored form of the given trinomial is (x -7)(x +1)
