Factoring n n n The process of rewriting an equation or expression as the product of its factors Example: x 2 + 3 x + 2 = (x + 2)(x + 1) Most common form is the quadratic form: ax 2 + bx + c, a ≠ 0

Factoring (when a = 1) ax 2 + bx + c = (x +

Factoring (when a = 1) ax 2 + bx + c = (x + ___ ) multiply to equal c and add up to equal b You can always check your answer by FOIL-ing!

Finding Factors of C 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Identify the value of c On your calculator, go to the y= screen Type C/X into y 1 Go to the table Any whole numbers (positive, nondecimal numbers) in the y 1 column are factors of c
