What is the diamond method in factoring quadratics?

Back

The diamond method is a visual technique used to factor quadratic trinomials. It involves creating a diamond shape where the top number is the product of the leading coefficient (A) and the constant term (C), and the bottom number is the middle coefficient (B). The factors of the top number that add up to the bottom number are used to find the binomials.

What is the purpose of factoring a quadratic equation?

Back

Factoring a quadratic equation allows us to find its roots or solutions, which are the values of x that make the equation equal to zero.
