Factoring Quadratics: Example 1

Topic

Quadratics

Description

This example demonstrates the factoring of a simple quadratic expression in the form x² + bx + c. The factoring process involves finding two numbers that multiply to give c and add up to b. This method is crucial for solving quadratic equations as it allows us to find the roots (or zeros) of the quadratic function. By setting each factor to zero, we can quickly determine the x-intercepts of the parabola. Factoring is often the quickest and most straightforward method for solving quadratic equations when the coefficients are integers or simple fractions.
