The trinomial expression is .
The trinomial compare to general trinomial expression: , So x = g, b =
19, c = 60.
To find two numbers with a sum of 19 and a product of 60.
This trinomial list of the factors of 60, and look for the pair of factors is a sum of 19.

The correct factors are 4 and
15.
To factor trinomials of the form , find two integers, m and n, with a sum equal to b and a product equal to c.
Then write as (x + m)(x + n).
(Product of two different sings is negative)
Check:
\To check the solution by multiply the two factors.
\ (Using FOIL method)
(Product of two different sings is negative)
(Product of two same sings is positive)
Combine like terms using distributive property: ac + bc = (a + b)c.
\The solution is "true".
\The solution is .
