The trick (Anurupyena): x² + bx + c: two numbers that multiply to c and add up to b → (x + one)(x + other). ax² + bx + c: multiply a × c; find two numbers that multiply to that and add up to b; split the middle term with them. Group the four terms in pairs and take out the common bracket. Check by multiplying back.
