Factoring Quadratics: The Simple Case (page 1 of 4) Sections: The simple case, The hard case, The weird case -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A "quadratic" is a polynomial that looks like "ax2 + bx + c", where "a", "b", and "c" are just numbers. For the easy case, you will find two numbers that multiply to the constant term "c", and add to "b", the coefficient on the x-term. For instance: Factor x2 + 5x + 6. We need to find factors of 6 that add up to 5. Since 6 can be written as the product of 2 and 3, and since 2 + 3 = 5, then we'll use 2 and 3. Now, you know from multiplying polynomials that this quadratic is formed from multiplying two factors of the form "(x + m)(x + n)", for some numbers m and n. So draw your parentheses, with an "x" in the front of each: (x )(x ) Then write in the two numbers we found above: (x + 2)(x + 3) mortgage financing Truck & Bus Bodies factoring account receivables account management receivable used car financing Motor Vehicle Parts & Accessories factoring trinomials account receivable software real estate financing Truck Trailers receivables factoring account funding receivable financing for new car Motor Homes receivable factoring account collection receivable financing rv Aircraft & Parts factoring service account commercial receivable gmac financing Aircraft invoice factoring company account factor receivable president choice financing Aircraft Engines & Engine Parts factoring calculator account program receivable personal financing Aircraft Parts & Auxiliary Equipment, NEC factoring loan account description job receivable automobile financing Ship & Boat Building & Repairing factoring financial services account ratio receivable turnover home financing Railroad Equipment factoring business account clerk receivable small business financing Throughout math, you will use a process known as factoring in many different problems. It is used when solving polynomial equations, to simplify things, and many other purposes. This page will help you better understand how to factor and how to find a GCF, or Greatest Common Factor. Click any of the links below to be on your way to a better understanding of those concepts, and good luck! GCF, or Greatest Common Factor The process known as factoring Factoring trinomials Quiz on Factoring -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you know nothing about finding a greatest common factor, a good place to start would be at the Pre-Algebra page on fractions and finding a GCF. In Algebra, the greatest common factor is found a little bit differently than it is in Pre-Algebra. In Algebra, only prime factors of numbers are used, and in many cases, you will be asked to find the GCF of algebraic terms. Following are two examples: 2 * 3 * 5 * 7 = 210 210xy2z3 = 2 * 3 * 5 * 7 * x * y * y * z * z * z As mentioned above, only prime numbers and literal factors, the letters, are used in this factoring process. Because only the prime and literal factors are used, the GCF is defined as follows: The GCF of two or more terms is the product of all prime algebraic factors common to every term, each to the highest power that it occurs in all the terms. Putting that in more reasonable terms tells us that the GCF has to be made of factors that are present in all the terms for which you are finding the GCF. Examples: The expression 6x2y2m2 + 3xy3m2 + 3x3y2 can be rewritten as a product of prime and literal factors - 2 * 3 * x * x * y * y * m * m + 3 * x * y * y * y * m * m + 3 * x * x * x * y * y. Since the first term is the only term with 2 as a factor, 2 is not a factor of the GCF. Each term has 3 as a factor at least once, so 3 is a factor of the GCF. 3 Each term also has x as a factor at least once, so x is a factor of the GCF.
