If the middle term of a quadratic trinomial is negative and the last term is negative, then the sum of the factors for the middle term must be __

Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Years of Factoring:

What the problem tells us is that we have:

X^2 - 4x - 3

or something along these lines. If we factor this we get:

(X-4)(X+1)

The bigger inside factor has to be negative for these problems, because the third term is negative.

the camry sales+accord sale=828,000. to make it so the two numbers are 18 thousand apart and still equal 828,000, you first need to find out what half of 828,000 is. 828,000/2=414,000. for the two numbers to equal 828,000, you have to add the same amount as you subtract from the middle. in this case, the number is 9,000 because it's half of 18,000. to equal 828,000, you have to add 9,000 to 414,000 for the camry and subtract 9,000 from 414,000 for the accord. 414,000+9,000=423,000.

414,000-9,000=405,000.

423,000+405,000=828,000.

423,000-405,000=18,
