Factoring Quadratic Expressions
Rewriting the quadratic expression $\displaystyle {4}{x}^{{2}}+{5}{x}$ as $\displaystyle {x}{\left({4}{x}+{5}\right)}$ is an example of Factoring using the GCF Method Rewriting the quadratic expression $\displaystyle {x}^{{2}}-{5}{x}+{6}$ as $\displaystyle {\left({x}-{3}\right)}{\left({x}-{2}\right)}$ is an example of Factoring using the Trial and Error Method You can check to make sure the Factoring was done correctly by multiplying the final results Factoring a Quadratic Expressions of the form $\displaystyle {x}{2}+{b}{x}+{c}$ by TRIAL AND ERROR involves rewriting $\displaystyle {x}^{{2}}+{b}{x}+{c}$ as $\displaystyle {\left({x}+{p}\right)}{\left({x}+{q}\right)}$ , where $\displaystyle {b}={p}\cdot{q}$ and $\displaystyle {c}={p}+{q}$

Rewriting the quadratic expression $\displaystyle {4}{x}^{{2}}+{5}{x}$ as $\displaystyle {x}{\left({4}{x}+{5}\right)}$ is an example of Factoring using the GCF Method
Rewriting the quadratic expression $\displaystyle {x}^{{2}}-{5}{x}+{6}$ as $\displaystyle {\left({x}-{3}\right)}{\left({x}-{2}\right)}$ is an example of Factoring using the Trial and Error Method
You can check to make sure the Factoring was done correctly by multiplying the final results
Factoring a Quadratic Expressions of the form $\displaystyle {x}{2}+{b}{x}+{c}$ by TRIAL AND ERROR involves rewriting $\displaystyle {x}^{{2}}+{b}{x}+{c}$ as $\displaystyle {\left({x}+{p}\right)}{\left({x}+{q}\right)}$ , where $\displaystyle {b}={p}\cdot{q}$ and $\displaystyle {c}={p}+{q}$
