Tips for solving by factoring when a is greater than one

This video tutorial explains how to factor quadratic equations when the absolute value of A is greater than one. It reviews previous techniques like the diamond, X, and box methods for cases where A equals one. The tutorial then introduces new techniques for factoring when A is greater than one, emphasizing the importance of setting equations to zero and using the zero product property to find solutions. The video also touches on the implications of a negative A value on the graph of the equation.

What technique can be used to factor a quadratic when A equals 1?

• The completing the square method

• The zero product property

• The quadratic formula

• The box technique

When A is greater than 1, which of the following is NOT a possible factorization of 12?

• 6 * 2

• 5 * 2

• 4 * 3

• 12 * 1

Why is it important to set a quadratic equation to zero when solving it?

• To determine the axis of symmetry

• To find the vertex of the parabola

• To simplify the equation
