10 x^{2} + k x + 8

$10 x^{2} + k x + 8$

Step 1

Find the values of

a

$a$ and

c

$c$ in the trinomial

10 x^{2} + k x + 8

$10 x^{2} + k x + 8$ with the format

a x^{2} + k x + c

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

a = 10

$a = 10$

c = 8

$c = 8$

Step 2

For the trinomial

10 x^{2} + k x + 8

$10 x^{2} + k x + 8$ , find the value of

a \cdot c

$a \cdot c$ .

a \cdot c = 80

$a \cdot c = 80$

Step 3

To find all possible values of

k

$k$ , first find the factors of

a \cdot c

$a \cdot c$

80

$80$ . Once a factor is found, add it to its corresponding factor to get a possible value for

k

$k$ . The factors for

80

$80$ are all numbers between

- 80

$- 80$ and

80

$80$ , which divide

80

$80$ evenly.

Check numbers between

$- 80$ and

80

$80$

Step 4

Calculate the factors of

80

$80$ . Add corresponding factors to get all possible

k

$k$ values.
