Factor Quadratic: ax² + bx + c

Factorised Form(x + 2)(x + 3)

Quick Explanation

Factoring involves finding the two binomials that, when multiplied together, produce the original quadratic equation. If the discriminant is negative, the equation cannot be factored with real numbers.

Understanding Factoring

Factoring is the process of finding the factors of a mathematical expression. It is essentially the reverse of expanding (FOIL method).

The Standard Form

ax² + bx + c = 0

Where 'a' is the quadratic coefficient, 'b' is the linear coefficient, and 'c' is the constant.
