YMU x * x - 9x + 2x - 9*2 (x - 9)(x + 2) x-9=0 x=9 x+2=0 x = -2 ( x = 9, -2) but only -2 works m*m -8m -1m + -8*-1 (m - 8)(m -1) m-8=0 m=8 m-1=0 m=1 m = (8 , 1) both works 7 x * x -35x+4x - 5*4 ( 7x + 4)(x -5) 7x+4=0 7 x = -4 x = -4/7 x-5=0 x = 5, doesnt factor because they 45 doesnt multiply with 7 (5p + 9)( p - 2) 5p + 9 = 0 p = -9/5 p-2 =0 p=2 p = (-9/5 , 2) but only 2 works p * p + -7p + 2p + -7 *2 (p - 7)(p +2) p -7 = 0 p =7 p+2=0 p = -2 p = ( 7. -2) x * x -9x-7x + -9*-7 (x -9)(x -7) x-9=0 x=9 x-7=0 x=7 x = ( 7, 9) k(7k + 9) 2b * b + 14 + 3 + 7 + 3 (2b + 3)(b + 7) 2b + 3 = 0 2b = -3 b = -3/2 b+7=0 b = -7 4n^2(7n - 10)(n+2) (28n^3 - 40n^2)(n+2) only (n+2) n+2=0 n = -2 Both works
