When factoring a trinomial how do you know if the two factors will both have plus signs both minus signs and when there will be one of each?

-- If the last term of the trinomial ... the one that's just a number with no 'x' ... is positive, then both factors have the same sign as the middle term of the trinomial. -- If the last term is negative, then the factors have different signs. If this was never pointed out in class, well, it should have been.
