Solving Quadratic Equations by FACTORING What are Quadratic
Solving Quadratic Equations by FACTORING
What are Quadratic Equations? A quadratic equation is an equation which: y = x 2 2 + 2 y = x Contains a 2 + x – 4 2 y = x x term y = x 2 + 2 x – 3 All of these equations contain a x 2 term therefore they are called: Quadratic Equations
Which of the following are Quadratic Equations? y=x+3 y= x 2 . . WHY? It Contains a x 2 term y = 2 x – 4 y = x 2 + 2 x – 3 …. WHY? It Contains a x 2 term
Solving Quadratic Equations BY FACTORING Remember: Quadratic Equations Contain a x 2 term There are several methods of solving QUADRATICS but one methods that you must know is called FACTORING “Factors” are the numbers you multiply to get another number The (+) factors of 6 are: 1 x 6 and 2 x 3 The (-) factors of 6 are: -1 x -6 and -2 x -3
Solving Quadratic Equations BY FACTORING BIG IDEA NUMBER ONE If A(B) = 0 what can we say about either A or B? Either A or B must equal ZERO!!! A = 0 or B = 0
Solving Quadratic Equations BY FACTORING BIG IDEA NUMBER ONE So if… (x + 3) (x – 3) = 0 THEN EITHER (x + 3) = 0 or (x – 3) = 0 x = -3 So…. or x=3
Solving Quadratic Equations BY FACTORING BIG IDEA NUMBER ONE TO SOLVE A QUADRATIC EQUATION BY FACTORING • MAKE THE EQUATION EQUAL TO ZERO • FACTOR THE EQUATION • SET THE FACTORS EQUAL TO ZERO AND SOLVE
How to solve Quadratic Equations by FACTORING Example 1 x 2 +7 x + 12= 0 1 Write down all the factor pairs of (x ___. 1 x 12 =12 -1 x -12 = 12 2 x 6 = 12 -2 x -6 = 12 03 x 4 = 12 -3 x -4 = 12 )(x )= What goes with From this list, 2 choose the pair that the x? Positive Negative 3+4=7 adds up to ___ 3 Put these numbers into brackets 0 = (x + 3)(x + 4)) x = – 3 and – 4
PROOF: x 2 + 7 x + 12 = (x + 3) (x + 4) Factor: x(x + 4) + 3(x + 4) Factor: x(x) + x(4) + 3(x) + 3(4) Combine like terms: x 2 + 4 x + 3 x + 12 x 2 + 7 x + 12
How to solve Quadratic Equations by FACTORING Example 2 x 2 - 5 x + 6 = 0 1 Write down all the factor pairs of ___. 2 From this list, choose the pair that adds up to ___. 3 Put these numbers into brackets 1 x 6 = 6 -1 x -6 = 6 2 x 3 = 6 -2 x -3 = 6 Positive Negative -2 + -3 = -5 (x - 2)(x - 3) = O x = 2 and 3
Solve by factoring: x 2 + x - 6 = 0 Write down all the 1 factor pairs of – 6 From this list, 2 choose the pair that adds up to 1 3 Put these numbers into brackets 1 x -6 = -6 2 x -3 = -6 3 x -2 = -6 6 x -1 = -6 (3) + (-2) = 1 3– 2=1 0 = (x + 3)(x - 2) x = – 3 and 2

FACTORING SPECIAL QUADRATIC EQUATIONS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERFECT SQUARES
FACTORING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERFECT SQUARES (x 2 + 0 x - 4) Is This A Quadratic Equation? FACTORING (x 2 + 0 x - 4) 1 x -4 = -4 1 Find all the factor pairs of - 4 2 x -2 = -4 2 From these choose the pair 2 + -2 = 0 that add up to “ 0” 3 Put these values into the brackets (x + _) = 0 (x + 2)(x - 2) = 0 Notice: x 2 + 0 x – 4 = (x 2 – 4)
FACTORING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERFECT SQUARES This is often called the “Difference between Two Squares” x 2 – 4 (x + 2)(x – 2)
FACTORING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERFECT SQUARES TO FACTOR THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SQUARES x 2 - 16 1) TAKE THE SQUARE ROOT OF THE BOTH TERMS. x 2 = x 2) MAKE THE BRACKETS { one (+) one (-) } 16 = 4 (x + __ 4 ) (x - __ 4 ) AND FILL IN THE BLANKS. x 2 – 16 = (x + 4 ) (x - 4 ) (x + 4 ) = 0 (x - 4 ) = 0 x = -4 x=4
