What are the steps to factor a quadratic expression?

Back

1. Identify a, b, and c. 2. Find two numbers that multiply to ac and add to b. 3. Rewrite the expression and factor by grouping.

Front

What is the significance of the leading coefficient in factoring?

Back

When a = 1, the factoring process is simplified as we only need to find two numbers that add to b and multiply to c.
