Question

how do you factor a binomial

Answer 1

for ease i like the ac method

Answer 2

what is the ac method

Answer 3

you know the standard form is Ax^2 +Bx +C =0
so find AC
then find two numbers that mutiply together to get to AC AND add together to get B

Answer 4

ok....

Answer 5

these numbers musst be the same and the signs are important to watch for.
different signs in the binomial meanss you are going to have + and - for the numbers

Answer 6

example =
f(x) = x^2 + 6 + 9

Answer 7

a = 1
b = 6
c = 9

oops that is f(x) = x^2 + 6x + 9

Answer 8

so ac = 9 and b = 6
same sign in the oriiginal equation so both #s are +
3 and 3 works
