2. You're asked to factor a polynomial, but there was a printing error. What you read is: 16x? – 9x – a this last term's a is the printer's fault, it's not correct. Since you don't know what a is there's only a few things you can do, so you write (- x+b)(– x±c) and now need to decide what can go in the blanks. List all positive integer possibilities as pairs, (b1, b2), where bị is the first blank, and b2 is the second.
