The trinomial expression is .
The trinomial compare to general trinomial expression: , So a = 5, b =
17, c = 14.
To find two numbers with a sum of 17 and a product of
.
This trinomial list of the factors of 70, and look for the pair of factors is a sum of 17.

The correct factors are 7 and
10.
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 .
Group terms with common factors.
\Combine like terms using distributive property: ac bc = (a
b)c.
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 .
