Q. Factor.
- Identify Coefficients: Identify the coefficients for , , and the constant term in the quadratic expression . Comparing with the standard quadratic form , we find that (coefficient of ), (coefficient of ), and (constant term).
- Find Multiplying Numbers: Determine two numbers that multiply to give and add up to give . We are looking for two numbers that when multiplied give and when added give . The pair of numbers that satisfy these conditions are and because and .
- Write Factored Form: Write the factored form of the quadratic expression using the two numbers found in the previous step.The factored form of the quadratic expression is because these two binomials multiply to give the original quadratic expression .
