3 Examples That Prove Trinomial Factoring Is Easier Than You Think
In this video I will walk you through 3 examples that prove trinomial factoring is a lot easier than you think it is! The key to mastering trinomial factoring is finding a fast, efficient, and easy to use strategy. And that's where my 'roundhouse kick' method comes in!
In this video I will share a trinomial factoring strategy that I have been teaching my students for over 10 years. This strategy has helped thousands of students overcome their struggles with factoring trinomial expressions because it completely avoids the need for common factoring, factoring by grouping, and any complex algebra that usually leads to confusion.
It is a lot easier to learn how to factor complex trinomials when the value of a is not equal to 1 than you think it is! Stick with this method and you will be mastering trinomial factoring in no time!

      @@edrickcerera5911 sure! So the two numbers will be 4 and 3. Dividing them each by 2 will produce 4/2 and 3/2. Reducing the first fraction gets us 2/1. Tipping them makes (x+2)(2x+3).

    • @MathByThePixel
      @MathByThePixel 6 днів тому

      Sure, no problem! For this one, you want two numbers that add to get -10 while also multiplying to get 3 times 3, or 9. The two numbers will be -9 and -1. Dividing each of those by our a-value of 3 will create two fractions -9/3 and -1/3. Reduce the first fraction to get -3/1. Tipping the fractions over will give us (x-3)(3x-1).

    • @MathByThePixel
      @MathByThePixel 6 днів тому

      Just be careful when expanding. You have to remember that you are multiplying. It looks like you may have added -3 and -3x to get -6x. If you remember to multiply here, you should get -9x rather than the -6x.

    Hello, Can you try factoring 2x² + 8x + 8 cuz when I did it your way I got (x+2) (x+2) but when I used ac method I got 2(x + 2)²

    • @MathByThePixel
      @MathByThePixel 6 днів тому

      Good question! For this one, you want to make sure you common factor first. Since there is a common factor of 2 amongst all three terms, we can remove that first. That will result in 2(x² + 4x + 4). From there, we can just your ac method to get 2(x+2)². Hope that helps!

  • @chocolateangel8743

    This isn't random. I did some basic research. This strategy works by compensation and is basically a shortcut for the Australian method for factoring Quadratics.

    • @MathByThePixel
      @MathByThePixel 6 днів тому

      You are correct! Definitely not random in the sense that it 100% has a valid explanation and proof for its legitimacy 🤣. However, it's definitely random by the standards teachers set for factoring. Where I teach, our curriculum dictates that we teach students how to factor using decomposition, which always confuses the daylights out of students, and in my experience, turns them off of factoring altogether. And we don't want that, do we!

    I keep chickens and it’s not really a random chance some hens just lay them more often than others. 1/1000 is a good number to go off eggs you get in a grocery store but I’d say 1/2 of the eggs I get from my chickens are double yolks. I have chickens that lay brown , cream, white , red and even blue eggs. Double yolk eggs are rare in traditional grocery store eggs beca of the way huge egg farms work but backyard/free range hens lay double yolks all the time.
