In the special case when a =1, the factoring method results in finding 2 NUMBERS knowing their sum and their product. The process is simple.
However, when the constants a, b, c are large numbers, and contain themselves many factors, then the factoring method becomes complicated and takes long time in the process. For examples, solving these equations by the factoring method will take lot of time because of the high number of permutations: (6x^2 - 11x - 35 = 0) ; (45x^2 + 74x - 55 = 0) ; (45x^2 - 152x - 36 = 0); (12x^2 + 5x - 72 = 0)
There is a new method, called Diagonal Sum Method, that can quickly and directly give the 2 roots, WITHOUT HAVING TO FACTOR THE EQUATION. The innovative concept of the new method is finding 2 FRACTIONS knowing their sum (-b/a) and their product (c/a). It is faster, more convenient than the factoring method since it requires fewer permutations by using the rule of signs for real roots. It is applicable whenever the equation can be factored. So, I advise you to proceed solving any quadratic equation in 2 steps. First step, use the Diagonal Sum method to solve it. It usually takes fewer than 3 trials. If it fails, then the quadratic formula must be used in second step. See book title:" New method for solving quadratic equations and inequalities" (Trafford Publishing 2009)

What equation results from completing the square and then factoring?
A quadratic equation
How do you do a parabola?
A parabola is a graph of a 2nd degree polynomial function. Two graph a parabola, you must factor the polynomial equation and solve for the roots and the vertex. If factoring doesn't work, use the quadratic equation.
Can you solve a quadratic equation without factoring?
using the quadratic formula or the graphics calculator. Yes, you can do it another way, by using a new method, called Diagonal Sum Method, that can quickly and directly give the 2 roots, without having to factor the equation. This method is fast, convenient and is applicable to any quadratic equation in standard form ax^2 +bx + c = 0, whenever it can be factored. It requires fewer permutations than the factoring method does, especially when the constants a, b, and c are large numbers. If this method fails to get answer, then consequently, the quadratic formula must be used to solve the given equation. It is a trial-and-error method, same as the factoring method, that usually takes fewer than 3 trials to solve any quadratic equation. See book titled:" New methods for solving quadratic equations and inequalities" (Trafford Publishing 2009)
