2. 1. First you need to organize your
terms. This includes collecting all
like terms to the same side and
putting the equation into standard
form.
2. Next you need to identify what
numbers are a, b, and c.
• Ex. 80+5x=5x2-60
1. 5x2-5x+20=0
2. 5=a, -5=b, 20=c
ORGANIZE AND IDENTIFY
4. 1. First you square the a term.
2. You then find the product of 4ac.
3. You then subtract that product from
the square of a.
4. Last, you find the square root of the
difference. If the difference is
negative, remember to break down the
number to its positive and negative one.
The square root of negative one
becomes i.
SIMPLIFY THE RADICAL
5. 1.Multiply the b term by
negative one.
2.Multiply the a term by two
in the denominator.
3.If possible, simplify the
coefficients in the
denominator and nominator.
6. • In some cases you will be able to
simplify further.

8. THE END
This is only one way that you can find the factors of a quadratic
equation. There are still complete the square and the factor box.
But really
