How do you factor any equation?
That depends on the equation; you need to give some examples of what you want factored. There are four steps to solving an equation. Should any other factors be accounted for when solving an equation? Should any factors be accounted for when explaining how to solve an equation?
What happens if you are checking a solution for the radical expression and find that it makes one of the denominators in the expression equal to zero?
Then it is not a solution of the original equation. It is quite common, when solving equations involving radicals, or even when solving equations with fractions, that "extraneous" solutions are added in the converted equation - additional solutions that are not solutions of the original equation. For example, when you multiply both sides of an equation by a factor (x-1), this is valid EXCEPT for the case that x = 1. Therefore, in this example, if x = 1 is a solution of the transformed equation, it may not be a solution to the original equation.
What is the second step in solving a nonlinear equation by substitution?
1. Substitute 2. Rearrange to equal zero 3. Factor if possible and use the zero product property to solve. 4. If you can't factor, graph and look for zeros (where it crosses the axis)
What are the steps to solving a quadratic equation?
In general, there are two steps in solving a given quadratic equation in standard form ax^2 + bx + c = 0. If a = 1, the process is much simpler. The first step is making sure that the equation can be factored? How? In general, it is hard to know in advance if a quadratic equation is factorable. I suggest that you use first the new Diagonal Sum Method to solve the equation. It is fast and convenient and can directly give the 2 roots in the form of 2 fractions. without having to factor the equation. If this method fails, then you can conclude that the equation is not factorable, and consequently, the quadratic formula must be used. See book titled:" New methods for solving quadratic equations and inequalities" (Trafford Publishing 2009) The second step is solving the equation by the quadratic formula. This book also introduces a new improved quadratic formula, that is easier to remember by relating the formula to the x-intercepts with the parabola graph of the quadratic function.
How would you factor an equation that doesn't factor properly?
If it does not factor properly then you cannot factor it.

How do you factor 5a2-14a-30?

How would participation in a culturally diverse team affect decision-making and problem-solving activities?
Race, or "cultural diversity" as you put it, should not be a factor at all.
What rate of interest compounded continuously is required to triple an investment in 8 years?
Solve the following equation: (1 + x/100)8 = 3. That is, your money increases by a certain factor each year; the factor is the capital plus the percentage rate (divided by 100), and if you multiply the factor by itself 8 times, you get a factor of 3. To start solving this, take the 8th. root left and right.
Why do you factor?
I factor because the problem I'm solving calls for it. It's the fastest and easiest way to solve for the GCF or LCM.
What is the quadratic equation used for?
It is used to solve quadratic equations that cannot be factored. Usually you would factor a quadratic equation, identify the critical values and solve, but when you cannot factor you utilize the quadratic equation.
5 g __ 508 mg?
Simplifying 5g = 508mg Solving 5g = 508gm Solving for variable 'g'. Move all terms containing g to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-508gm' to each side of the equation. 5g + -508gm = 508gm + -508gm Combine like terms: 508gm + -508gm = 0 5g + -508gm = 0 Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), 'g'. g (5 + -508m) = 0
