How to Solve Quadratic Equations by Factoring

Understanding Quadratic Equations

Before diving into the realm of factoring, let's first understand quadratic equations. A quadratic equation is a second-degree polynomial equation, typically represented in the form ax² + bx + c = 0 , where a , b , and c are coefficients and x is the variable. The goal when solving a quadratic equation is to find the values of x that make the equation true.

Why Factoring?

Factoring is a powerful technique used to solve quadratic equations by breaking them down into simpler expressions. By factoring a quadratic equation, we can rewrite it as a product of two or more binomials, making it easier to identify the values of x that satisfy the equation.

Examples

Let's take a look at several examples in the video below.

So, the next time you encounter a quadratic equation, embrace it with confidence and tackle it by unleashing the power of factoring. Happy solving!
