INTRODUCTORY INSIGHT: If you're looking to uncover all integers k that can factor a trinomial, you need to begin by pinpointing the trinomial's coefficients. From there, search for pairs of integers that, when multiplied, equal the product of the first and third coefficients and when added, equal the second coefficient. The integers found in these pairs will present you with the sought-after values of k.
