Yes and they do in factoring quadratic equations.Yes and they do in factoring quadratic equations.Yes and they do in factoring quadratic equations.Yes and they do in factoring quadratic equations.
When must the quadratic formula be used in algebra?
You'll typically use it when solving a quadratic equation - when factoring isn't obvious.
What makes a quadratic equation?
When the equation is a polynomial whose highest order (power) is 2. Eg. y= x2 + 2x + 10. Then you can use quadratic formula to solve if factoring is not possible.
Why do you set each factor equal to zero when solving a quadratic equation by factoring?
When solving a quadratic equation by factoring, we set each factor equal to zero because of the Zero Product Property. This property states that if the product of two factors is zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero. By setting each factor to zero, we can find the specific values of the variable that satisfy the equation, leading to the solutions of the quadratic equation.
