Factoring

To use the box thingy to factor....

2x^2 + 7x +3

Put the 7 in the top left box. Multiply the 2 and 3 to get 6 and put 6 in the top right box.
Find numbers you multiply to get 6 that add up to 7 (6 and 1) and put them in the lower boxes. It doesn't matter which one goes where. Then rewrite the equation replacing the 7x with 6x and 1x....
2x^2 + 6x + x +3
Group and then factor
2x(x + 3) +1(x + 3)
(x + 3)(2x + 1)

Does that help?

Use the "sum" from the sum & product rule.
One solution is 3+2i and the other is its conjugate, 3-2i.
(3+2i) + (3-2i) = -b/a
6/1 = -b/a
b = -6
