Arnoldo bought a computer during a store promotion that allowed him to pay for it over time. His current account balance for this purchase is less than 235 dollars. How could you describe Arnoldo’s debt to the store?

1.1 Factoring x2+4x-32

The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .

The middle term is, +4x its coefficient is 4 .

The last term, "the constant", is -32

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -32 = -32

Step-2 : Find two factors of -32 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 4 .

-32 + 1 = -31

-16 + 2 = -14

-8 + 4 = -4

-4 + 8 = 4
