2X2-5X-1 1

Please do not use all caps. It is harder to read and is considered SHOUTING online.

Online x^2 = x squared.

What do you want to do? Factor?

2x^2 - 5x - 11 does not seem to factor. The numbers to multiply to get 11 are only 11 and 1 and to get 2 (2x^2) are 2 and 1. However, there is no way to combine them to add to -5x.

Do you have a typo in your formula?
