Question

Anybody generous to give me a few minutes of their time ?(:
I need help in factoring quadratics, and I want to make sure If I'm getting it or not.

-help will be greatly appreciated <3

Answer 1

Do you know the quadratic formula?

Answer 2

It helps if you understand how to factor, a little. But if you're lazy and terrible at factoring, you can use it to get the factors. :D

Answer 3

(I am lazy and terrible at factoring. So I do this.)

Answer 4

The factoring formula ? x^2+bx+c = 0 ? Or y= ax^2+bx+c ?

Answer 5

No.
\[x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\]If you don't know what that is, don't pay attention to me. You'll learn it very soon.

Answer 6

what's your question?

Answer 7

I'm not ready for that yet. I want to learn it this way: ax2 + bx + c = 0 first.

Answer 8

Ok, you want to find two numbers that multiply to get b and add to get c.

Answer 9

My question is that I want to practice factoring, I'm beginning to get it, but I still need practice.

Answer 10

so are you trying to ax^2+bx+c=0 into
maybe something like
(x+2)(x+6)
?

Answer 11

oh
factor this then
(x^2)-4

Answer 12

YES PENGUIN (:

Answer 13

4x^2+11x+6

How would I factor that ?

Answer 14

Basically I'm looking for the steps, like do it together. lol
