The trinomial expression is .
The trinomial compare to general trinomial expression: , So a = 30, b =
25, c =
30.
To find two numbers with a sum of 25 and a product of
.
This trinomial list of the factors of 900, and look for the pair of factors is a sum of
25.

The correct factors are 20 and 45.
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.
\Combine like terms using distributive property: ac + bc = (a + b)c.
\The solution is "true".
The solution is .
