    5 When factorising a quadratic trinomial of the form x +bx +c , we need to find two
    numbers which:

    A multiply to give b and add to give a

    B multiply to give b and add to give c

    C multiply to give c and add to give b

    D multiply to give c and add to give a

    E multiply to give a and add to give c
