12/4/2007 Algebra 2 - More Factoring & Solving




Today we learned how to factor quadratic expressions (the reverse process of the FOIL method). We also learned that factoring can produce solutions to a quadratic equation. This will be our first method for solving. Demonstrations can be viewed here. We did some examples together in class, then students worked on a worksheet. The video below demonstrates how to factor to solve a quadratic equation.
