Any shortcuts to factoring Trinomials when looking for numbers that when multiplied together equal y and when added together equal z?
So, how I understand (simple) Trinomials is essentially;
x^2 + yx + z = (x + a)(x+b)
(Where yx = ax + bx & zx = ab)
Non-simple trinomals are a little different;
(A)x^2 + yx + z
(where A > than 1)
but the Problem I am having with them, Is essentially the same, and comes down to this part;
(Where yx = ax + bx & zx = ab)
I.E finding what combinations, when multiplied together equal y and when added together equal z.
Other than simply guess and check, is there really any want to shortcut this?
