How do you factorize a quadratic equation?

Answer 1

If there is a number in front of the first x then you multiply that number by the end number and then you have to find a number that multiplies to that and adds to the middle term's number.

Ex. 3x(squared) + 5x -2=0

So in that example, you would multiply the 3 by the -2 and get -6. So then, ask yourself what multiplies to -6 and adds to 5 (the middle term).

The answer to this example is +6 and -1 (6 * -1= -6 and 6+-1= 5)

Then, you break down the middle term into those two terms.

Answer 2

6x²+20x-6
