In this lesson we’ll look at methods for factoring quadratic equations with coefficients in front of the x^2 term (that are not 1 or 0). Factoring means you’re taking the parts of an expression and rewriting it as parts that are being multiplied together (the factors). Factoring a quadratic equation means we will write equations of the form ax^2+bx+c into the form (px+r)(qx+s), where a, b, c, p, q, and s are all real numbers and a≠1,0.
