Factoring Trinomials: Day 2 Challenge

What is a trinomial?

• A polynomial with two terms

• A polynomial with three terms

• A polynomial with five terms

• A polynomial with four terms

What is the purpose of the product-sum table in factoring trinomials?

• To find the difference of two terms

• To identify factors that sum up to the middle term

• To multiply the trinomial by another polynomial

• To divide the trinomial into simpler parts
