Question
In the following exercises, factor each trinomial of the form $x^{2}+b x+c .$$$q^{2}-13 q+36$$
Step 1
The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36. Since the middle term is negative, we need to consider the negative factors of 36. These are -1, -2, -3, -4, -6, -9, -12, -18, and -36. The combination of factors that add up to -13 is -4 and -9. Show more…
