      I'm a little late but basically you take the product of the first and last terms and find their factors. Then you chose factors that when added or subtracted equal to the middle term. Then you make pairs of two and then take out commons and the stuff in both brackets should be the same. Then you delete one of the brackets and then put the stuff outside the brackets together into a bracket and your done. I suggest watching some more videos as I am absolute garbage at explaining things

    If people don’t know what’s happening:
    s^2 - 2s - 35 = 0
    Let’s say it like this.
    a + b = -2 and ab = -35
    This means either a or b will be negative.
    But how do we find out. Simple, list out the factors of 35.
    The unique combo is 5 and -7. 5 + (-7) is -3and 5 x (-7) is 35.
    So we have this equation.
    s^2 +5s - 7s -35.
    Now what now. I like to put these into pairs and figure out what common factor they have, aka. factoring.
    So s^2 and 5s have a common factor of s so we get this.
    s(s+5)
    We can do the same thing to -7s - 35 using (-7) so we get -7(s+5)
    So we get this: s(s+5) - 7(s+5)
    Because we already have the factor of s + 5, we don’t need it, so we remove this, get the two numbers outside the parenthesis and make that a factor:
    (s + 5)(s - 7)
    Now let’s make it so these expressions equal zero.
    -5 and 7. These are our solutions for s.
    We can double check this as well.
    49 (7 squared) - 14 (-2 x 7) - 35 = 0
    25 (-5 squared) + 10 (-2 x -5) - 35 = 0

    Back in 1980s when I was in junior high, one of my math teachers in China taught us below formula to solve any quadratic equations ax^2 + bx + c = 0, then we have (-b/(2a) - u)(-b/(2a) + u) = c/a, then we have (u + b/(2a))(u - b/(2a)) = -c/a. Solve the u we will get x = -b/(2a) - u or x = -b/(2a) + u.

    I’m 22 years old and still don’t know this by heart. And I consider myself math minded. I get tripped up trying to figure out how to factor when the leading coefficient of x^2 is not 1. The guessing game is the most difficult part for me at that point, I know there’s a shortcut but I don’t know it well enough to whip it out at anytime.

    ax^2+bx+c=0. Find 2 numbers adding to b and multiplying to (a * c). Call those two numbers r & s. Then set up bx = rx + sx so that you have
    ax^2+rx+sx+c=0. Then you factor by grouping.

    • @smileysmultimedia
      @smileysmultimedia 7 років тому

      At that point in the problem where you've factored the equation and got a common factor from both groups, you need to further factor out the common factor. In this case the (s+5). As Rotten Potato said, the factors(numbers and/or variables) left outside the parenthesis put those together in their own parenthesis. You end up with a equation times and equation "(a + b)(x - z)".
      In this quadratic equation we're equaling to zero, so take both equations out of their parenthesis and put "= 0" on both. Solve the simple equations for your answer(s)

      @xaviert.123 3 місяці тому

      No clue either. I could be wrong but the way I see it, is like this:
      There are two terms that are the same in the formula s(s+5)-7(s+5)
      See how we have the s and the -7 outside of brackets?
      My theory is that for whatever reason, one of the (s+5) terms can be eliminated and replaced with the s and -7 combined, to make (s-7)
      So you have the s(s+5)-7(s+5), remove one of the s+5, replace it with the terms outside the brackets, and make that into a bracket.
      I could be entirely wrong so please take this with a pinch of salt, but this is how I interpret it

      He took s common from s² + 5s which is s(s + 5).
      Then took 7 common from 7s-35
      Here 35 is divisible by 7 by 5 times so 7(s + 5)
      And then here we need two values for s first we take s+5 and then s-7

    So, if you didn't do the factoring by grouping, first, how do you get the numbers for the straight factoring method? It seems like that would have to be a -guess and check situation- which could take almost as long as the grouping method? Am I wrong? Please, correct if I am, because I want to better understand.

      U can't get -35 if u use s-5 cuz the answer will be +35. In multiplication, same sign is + and diff sign is - ( no matter what sign they have)

      @@cefb8923 / The point of these longer methods is to help with understanding why the method works. It is asking you to know the logic behind each step to make it easier to remember and apply to other problems. The old system showed the quickest way to do it, and wanted you to memorize each step of the process. I don’t yet know if the new way is better or worse.

    how would this even work for (5x^2 - 6x + 1).
    In this case. a + b = -6, while a.b is equal to 1.
    so it be (-5)+(-1)= -6
    however,
    (-5).(-1) would not equal to 1.Even if i were to use other numbers it will not fulfill both requirements, so please correct me here what am i doing wrong using ur specific solution.
