OK, so its algebra one and were factoring expressions. The problem is:
2x squared + 9x + 9
The way we have learned to do this is to make a diamond problem with the 9 from 9x on the bottom (sum) and the 9 on the top (product). So you would have to find two numbers that have a sum and a product of 9, right? Then you add x to both of them. So it would be: (x + #) (x + #) OK. So I'm wondering what to do with the 2x squared after you've got this far?
