Can all quadratic equations be solved using factoring? If your answer is ‘no’, show counterexample.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of course you can always factor, but you have to know the zeros first, so i think you are supposed to answer "NO" for this question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what they meant was "can you factor using integers" and the answer to that is no any example you make up in your head will probably not factor just write something the chances it factors are very low i will check if you like

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks! :))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u give me an example of a non-factorable quadratic equation? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

write anything make it look like \[ax^2+bx+c=0\]but put your own numbers for \(a, b, c\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i still dont get it :( i mean i thought if it looks like ax squared + bx +c = 0 is factorable im sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i meant pick your own numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here, i pick \[2x^3+3x-5=0\] i get that doesn't factor try your own

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*bet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it doesnt factor thank you! i might ask you more questions if thats ok with you because im doing my take-home quiz :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
