This guide focuses on solving quadratic equations through the method of factoring. Begin with an equation set equal to zero, ensuring the leading coefficient is positive. Follow a systematic approach: first, factor the polynomial using reverse FOIL, then check the outer and inner terms for accuracy. Next, apply the zero product property by setting each binomial equal to zero. Lastly, solve for the variable. Use this step-by-step method to enhance your understanding and ability to tackle quadratic equations effectively. Enjoy your homework and have a great weekend!
