25 x^{2} - k x + 4

$25 x^{2} - k x + 4$

Step 1

Find the values of

a

$a$ and

c

$c$ in the trinomial

25 x^{2} - k x + 4

$25 x^{2} - k x + 4$ with the format

a x^{2} + k x + c

$a x^{2} + k x + c$ .

a = 25

$a = 25$

c = 4

$c = 4$

Step 2

For the trinomial

25 x^{2} - k x + 4

$25 x^{2} - k x + 4$ , find the value of

a \cdot c

$a \cdot c$ .

a \cdot c = 100

$a \cdot c = 100$

Step 3

To find all possible values of

k

$k$ , first find the factors of

a \cdot c

$a \cdot c$

100

$100$ . Once a factor is found, add it to its corresponding factor to get a possible value for

k

$k$ . The factors for

100

$100$ are all numbers between

- 100

$- 100$ and

100

$100$ , which divide

100

$100$ evenly.

Check numbers between

- 100

$- 100$ and

100

$100$

Step 4

Calculate the factors of

100

$100$ . Add corresponding factors to get all possible

k

$k$ values.
