\"\"

\

The trinomial expression is \"\".

\

The trinomial compare to general trinomial expression: \"\", So a = 6, b = 15, c = \"\"9.

\

To find two numbers with a sum of 15 and a product of \"\".

\

This trinomial list of the factors of \"\"54, and look for the pair of factors is a sum of 15.
