the easiest way to factor ax^2+bx+c when a is not 1

This is how I factor trinomials ax^2+bx+c when a is not 1. I did this Instagram reel and it got over 6 million views within a week. So here's the explanation of how it works. For more factoring practice, check out my 100 trinomials challenge: 👉 • 100 trinomial factorin...

This method allows me to quickly see the solution. My precalc teacher called me a factoring master, but its only because I learn from the master! PS: just got my 2.718 t-shirt today, can't wait to wear it to school tomorrow. 😂

(-4x-3)(-x+2)

Technically, you're not wrong, but why would you ever factor a positive number into two negative numbers if there's no other reason for it? You don't usually separate 4x^2 into -4x and -x, you usually separate it into 4x and x, which would give you the answer of (4x+3)(x-2)

@@AzureKyle I know it usually works like that, I just did it for fun xd. Even in school I always do that for fun.

In high school, we used the Product Sum Choose method, it works best for monic quadratics. This is more visual :)

Think of two number when you multply you get the product of a×c and thier sum is b and then break b to those number and factor by grouping 4x+4x-3 = 4x+6x-2x-3 = 2x(2x+3)-1(2x+3) =(2x+3)(2x-1) 4x^2-5x-6 =4x^2-8x+3x-6 =4x(x-2)+3(x-2) =(x-2)(4x+3)
