In the above trinomial, .
You need to find two numbers with a sum of 22 and a product of .
Make a list of the factors of 40 and look for the of factors with the sum of 22.
\The correct factors are .
Apply the pattern: .
Group terms with common factors.
\Factors the GCF from each group.
\Notice that is common in both groups, so it becomes the GCF.
Apply distributive property: .
The factors of polynomial is .
