Q. Factor.

\newline

v^2 - 3v + 2

Identify $b$ and $c$ : Identify $b$ and $c$ in the quadratic expression $v^2 - 3v + 2$ . $\newline$ $b = -3$ $\newline$ $c = 2$
Find two numbers: Find two numbers that multiply to $c$ $(2)$ and add up to $b$ $(-3)$ . $\newline$ Numbers: $-1$ and $-2$ $\newline$ $-1 \times -2 = 2$ $\newline$ $-1 + -2 = -3$
Write factored form: Write the factored form using the two numbers found. $\newline$ Factored form: $(v - 1)(v - 2)$
