Question

How do I factor quadratics?

Answer 1

Ok so factoring quadratics is fairly easy once you get the hang of it

So we have a quadratic
`x^2+x-2`

My first question would be what 2 numbers multiply to -2 and add to +1

the answer is 2 and -1

Second question what 2 values multiply to get
`x^2`

the answer x and x

your factored form would be
`(x-1)(x+2)`

This is as far as i can explain there is a whole lot about quadratics to be learned. You have to ask your teacher on more information
