X-box Factoring • This is a guaranteed method for factoring quadratic equations—no guessing necessary! • We will learn how to factor quadratic equations with a number in front of the x2 using the x-box method!
Factor the x-box way y = ax2 + bx + c GCF GCF left*right Left Term n GCF n m Right Term m middle GCF
Factor the x-box way Example: Factor 3x2 -13x -10 (3)(-10)= -30 x -5 3x 3x2 -15x 2 -15 -13 -10 2x +2 3x2 -13x -10 = (x-5)(3x+2)
Examples continued Factor 2x2 - 5x - 7 a) b) 2x -7 -72 -14 -5 x 2x2-7x 2x -7 +1 Solution: 2x2 - 5x – 7 = (2x - 7)(x + 1)
Examples continued Factor 15x2 + 7x - 2 a) b) 3x +2 -30 7 5x 15x210x -3x -2 10-3 -1 Solution: 15x2 + 7x – 2 = (3x + 2)(5x - 1)
Examples continued Factor 3x2 - 17x + 10 a) b) x -5 30 -17 3x 3x2 -15x -2x 10 -15-2 -2 Solution: 15x2 + 7x – 2 = (3x -2)(x - 5)
