Factor Polynomials

The video tutorial explains quadratic equations, focusing on their standard form and factoring. It provides a detailed example of factoring a quadratic equation by identifying values and using algebra tiles for visual representation. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the relationship between quadratic equations and their factors, using both algebraic and visual methods.

What is the standard form of a quadratic equation?

• ax + bx + c = 0

• ax^2 + bx^2 + cx = 0

• ax^2 + bx + c = 0

• ax^2 + bx^2 + c = 0

In the example, what is the value of 'c' after rewriting the equation in standard form?

• 8

• 16

• -16

• 0

Which pair of numbers are the factors of 16 that add up to 8?

• 2 and 8

• 4 and 4

• 1 and 16

• 3 and 5

What is the common factor of the terms b^2 and 4b?

• b

• 4

• b + 4

• 16

What shape should the algebra tiles form when modeling a quadratic?

• Rectangle

• Triangle

• Circle

• Square

When using algebra tiles, what should the sum of the x bars equal?

• The value of ac

• The value of b

• The value of c

• The value of a

What are the factors of the quadratic x^2 + x - 10 using algebra tiles?

• x - 5 and x + 2

• x + 5 and x + 2

• x + 5 and x - 2

• x - 5 and x - 2
