Due:
ASSIGNMENT: Factoring Quadratics Worksheet 3 Pages 1&2. Due 11/19 (Periods 5 & 6) or 11/20 (Periods 1, 2 & 4).
NOTE: You are responsible for the front and back of this worksheet.
Each of these are problems with an a not divisible into the b or c terms. So you must use the X method. It's my suggestion that you always use the X method so you are familiar with a factoring process that will never fail you...except when the quadratic isn't factorable!!!!
REMEMBER: When you are doing the X method, IF YOU SIMPLIFY BOTH FRACTIONS ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT AND NOT JUST ONE, THEN YOU MUST BRING BACK YOUR 'a' TO YOUR FACTORED FORM QUADRATIC...JUST LIKE YOU DO IN COMPLETING THE SQUARE AND FACTORING WITH THE BOX METHOD WHEN YOU DIVIDE OUT THE 'a' IN STEP 1 OR 2!
Feel free to do your work directly on the worksheet...if you do not write excessively large and are organized.
If that's not possible and you cannot write in smaller spaces, please use a separate sheet of loose leaf to do this assignment. You will probably need at least 2-3 pages. Fold your paper horizontal vertical so you have 4 rectangles per side. Try to organize yourself when writing so that you can clearly and legibly use the X method for each problem in ONE rectangle.
