Factor Trinomials with Two VariablesSometimes a trinomial may consists of two variables. We can factor the trinomial in a similar way as if it has only one variable. We can use the trial and error method or the grouping method.
Example: Factor the following trinomials: a) e2 - 6ef + 9f2 b) 2x2 + 7xy - 15y2
Solution: a) e2 - 6ef + 9f2 = (e - 3f)2 b) 2x2 + 7xy - 15y2 = (2x - 3y)(x + 5y)
