4.4 Solve Quadratic Equations of the form by Factoring
EXAMPLE 1 Factor ax2 + bx + c where c > 0 Factor 5x2 – 17x + 6. SOLUTION You want 5x2 – 17x + 6 = (kx + m)(lx + n) where kand lare factors of 5 andmand nare factors of 6. You can assume that kand lare positive and k ≥ l. Because mn> 0, mand nhave the same sign. So, mand nmust both be negative because the coefficient of x, –17, is negative.
ANSWER The correct factorization is5x2 –17x + 6 = (5x – 2)(x – 3). EXAMPLE 1 Factor ax2 + bx + c where c > 0
ANSWER The correct factorization is3x2 + 20x – 7= (3x – 1)(x + 7). EXAMPLE 2 Factor ax2 +bx + c where c < 0 Factor 3x2 + 20x – 7. SOLUTION You want3x2 + 20x – 7 = (kx + m)(lx + n)wherekandlarefactors of3andmandnare factors of–7. Becausemn < 0, mandn have opposite signs.
