x^2+6x+8=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not sure what you're asking. You want to solve as if it equals 0 or....need more information.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or you can factor...maybe that's what you're asking?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hold on I'll get the question I asked before..and see if you can help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how is factoring used to solve quadratic equations. Need to demonstrate the process with an example to show

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just not sure how to get this and the example...very frustrating

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually I do not get any of it...I am so confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok well we can just use the problem you gave. To factor simple quadratic formulas like \[x^2+6x+8\] the answer looks like (x+a)(x+b) where a and b are real numbers. A and b need to be multiplied together to get 8 and added together to get 6 for this example. So find two numbers that do this...they can be negative or positive.

Thank you so very much!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does it make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There are different ways to find out GCF of two or more numbers. One of them is prime factorization method. I find it very handy and simple to use. What is your opinion?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Math comes easy to me, for the most part, so when I need to factor things I practically see it on spot.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 + 10 x + 14 x^2 what's the GCF here and is it smaller than the smallest coefficient? Sorry I am asking all of this, but I am so darned confused...UGH!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Greatest common factor is a value that can go into every other value.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pj, math comes easy?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For me...
