Key concepts students will learn:

  • The standard form for a quadratic equation is Ax² + Bx + C = 0, where A, B, and C are integers.

  • To factor a quadratic in the form x² + Bx + C, find two numbers that multiply to C and add to B.

  • If (x + M)(x + N) = 0, then the solutions are x = -M or x = -N, because anything times zero is zero.
