Catalog Verification for Fabricated Structural Panels

As an assistant estimator for a commercial steel fabrication firm, you are checking the product catalog listings for pre-cut industrial floor plates. One plate design has its area modeled by the trinomial 30x2−53xy−21y2{}30x^2 - 53xy - 21y^2.

To ensure the layout catalog is accurate, you must recall the completely factored form and explain the verification procedure. In your response:

  1. State the completely factored binomial form of the trinomial 30x2−53xy−21y2{}30x^2 - 53xy - 21y^2.
  2. State the inner product and the outer product of these binomial factors, and explain how their sum is used to verify the middle term, −53xy-53xy.
