This presentation discusses the different methods to factor a quadratic equation.

1. FACTORING QUADRATICS

2. WHAT TO LOOK FOR Look for three terms. Look for only two terms. Look for only two terms. The coefficient of x is the sum of two numbers and the constant is the product of the same two numbers. The beginning & end terms are perfect squares and the middle term is doubled. Look for the variable to be cubed The first term must be squared. Look for two perfect squares being subtracted.
