you set it equal to zero

7x^2 + 7x - 14 = 0

since there is a common factor of 7, you can divide each term by that, including the zero on the other side, which just gives you zero again...

(x^2 + x - 2) = 0

You have to find two numbers that multiply to give you the coefficent of the third term (c = -2), and add to give you the coefficient of middle term (b = 1)

so, +2, and -1 add to give you +1 (b), and multiply to give you -2 (c).

so the factors are:

x+2 and x-1

(and therefor the roots are x= -2, and x =1, but you just asked for the factors)

Factors are (7y - 3)(7y - 2) so it's not a perfect square.


81x2 - 72x plus 16 is a perfect square trinomial true or false?

If a trinomial is a perfect square, then the discriminant will equal 0. The discriminant is equal to B^2-4AC. The variables come from the standard form of a quadratic which is Ax^2+Bx+C In this problem, A=81, B=-72, and C=16 so the discriminant is: (-72)^2-4(81)(16)=5,184-5,184=0 so this is a perfect square trinomial. To factor, notice that 81=9^2 and 16=4^2, so 81x^2=(9x)^2. We can then factor the trinomial into (9x+4)(9x-4)
