Precalc 11 Week 6

This Week we worked on 3 different ways on working with trinominal and how to factor them, they are:

 

Factoring

Completing the Square

Quadratic Formula

 

Im not going to go through factoring because I explained it in last weeks blog post.

 

completing the square-

 

probably the most complicated way to factor in my option because in order to do this process you need to move the third term and bracket the first 2. Then half the square the second term, the one inside the bracket will be positive and then one outside the bracket will be negative. Keep in mind if the first term has a coeficial you have to times the number by the coeficiant outside the bracket. To made this more clear I will show you a photo below.

 

Quadratic formula-

 

This one is quite simple,e and will work almost all the time. A= the first term B= The second term and C= the third term. All you have to do now is plug it in the quadratic formula and do the math. Like shown below.
