When factoring a trinomial of the form ax2 + bx + c where a is positive and b and c are both negative, you need to find two numbers, m and n, such that ax2 + bx + c = ax2 + mx + nx + c

D. m is positive, n is negative, and |n| > |m| is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that when factoring a trinomial of the form ax2 + bx + c where a is positive and b and c are both negative. That means:

a>0

b<0

c<0

Then ac<0

Negative produce ac is  possible only when both factors are of opposite sign.

In this situation, b<0 is possible only if bigger factor is negative.

Hence choice D. m is positive, n is negative, and |n| > |m| is correct.
