WEBSince the leading coefficient of ( 2 x 2 + 7 x + 3) is 2 , we cannot use the sum-product method to factor the quadratic expression. Instead, to factor 2 x 2 + 7 x + 3 , we need to find two integers with a product of 2 ⋅ 3 = 6 (the leading coefficient times the constant term) and a sum of 7 (the x -coefficient).
