Think of two small numbers \_\_ \_\_ Put them inside this problem: (x + \_\_ ) (x + \_\_ )

and multiply them out so it looks like this: x2 + \_\_ x + \_\_

In the form ax2 + bx + c we can say that: a = 1, b = \_\_ and c = \_\_

Now put the numbers a, b and c into this formula

This gives two answers: x = \_\_ and x = \_\_

Do they correspond to the numbers you first thought of?

Yes? Well done!
