Hello. I'm reviewing basic algebra I and II concepts for my college algebra class. My original math problem was to factor [imath]10t^4-27t^2-28[/imath]. I converted it to [imath]10u^2-27u-28[/imath] (the "Get Help" section told me to do this). My question is, what would be the best method to factor this? The program I'm using doesn't tell me how to factor it, it only says that I should end up with [imath](5u+4)(2u-7)[/imath]. The internet suggests I use the sum-product pattern, which I've never heard of and don't know how to use. Could someone give me some tips? Thank you.
