Standard Operating Procedure for Factoring Quadratic Models

Imagine you are a technical training lead at a data analytics firm. You are drafting a 'Standard Operating Procedure' (SOP) manual to help new hires simplify quadratic expressions used in revenue forecasting models. Using the expression t211t+28t^2 - 11t + 28 as an example, write a procedural summary that outlines the specific steps of the trinomial factoring strategy. Your response must clearly: (1) State the rule for determining the signs of the two numbers in the factor pair; (2) List the negative factor pairs of 28 that must be considered; (3) Identify which specific pair sums to -11; and (4) Provide the final factored expression.
