Question

How do you factor the trinomial `p^2 + p -12`?

Answer 1

I am using another question and answer as an example for this, sorry if it's not understandable. BTW, the answer is `(p−3)(p+4)`

Explanation:

How do you factor 4p²+4p+1?
Its just an example. But for this case, the two on the right are gonna be `4` and `-3` because the two on the left have to be multiplied together in order to get `-12` and on the two on the left are gonna be both `p`'s. I hope this helps you!
