Solving a quadratic equation using the long factoring technique

The video tutorial explains how to factor trinomials, focusing on cases where the leading coefficient is not one. It covers the process of identifying factors, common mistakes students make, and the method of factor by grouping. The tutorial concludes with applying the zero product property to find solutions.

What is the form of a trinomial discussed in the video?

• AX^2 + CX + B

• X^2 + BX + C

When the leading coefficient 'a' is not 1, what must the first two terms of the trinomial multiply to give?

• BX

• 2X^2

• 2X

• X^2

What is the product of 'a' and 'c' in the example given in the video?

• 11

• 30

• 2

• 15

What common mistake do students make when factoring trinomials?

• Using the wrong formula

• Forgetting to multiply the first terms

• Assuming a is always 1
