Homework Statement
I was wondering how people intuitively see how to decompose functions?
For example:
x^2 + 5x - 14, how do you solve that to be (x+7)(x-2) without a calculator?
Do you use a specific method or do you just sit for a while trying and failing?
The question is a bit stupid, but were wondering if there is a formula or a simple method that I am missing?
