peepo_heart

#

do u need help with em all?

vagrant hill Mar 6, 2026, 5:26 AM

#

i just need help with how todo it

#

ik i can use quadratic formula, but i dont think thats what it wants

cerulean dirge Mar 6, 2026, 5:27 AM

#

so factoring

vagrant hill Mar 6, 2026, 5:27 AM

#

probs since we learn quadratic formula2 excersices later

#

how do we factorise is it the sum and product method

cerulean dirge Mar 6, 2026, 5:27 AM

#

yeah its that

#

move everything to one side of the equation so the right side is =0

#

then use the sum and product method

#

which is where u find two numbers that multiply to a*c and add to b, and then split ur x term into the two numbers and then group factor

vagrant hill Mar 6, 2026, 5:31 AM

#

wait what

#

a*c?

#

i thought its multiply to =c and sum b

cerulean dirge Mar 6, 2026, 5:32 AM

#

no its a*c

#

it didnt matter that much before tho cuz a=1 for most of ur previous problems

vagrant hill Mar 6, 2026, 5:33 AM

#

ohh so when its one we use sum of abnd product of c?

cerulean dirge Mar 6, 2026, 5:33 AM

#

i mean its still product of a*c

#

but when a=1, a*c=1*c=c

vagrant hill Mar 6, 2026, 5:36 AM

#

yeah makes sense

#

can u show me how to do a

cerulean dirge Mar 6, 2026, 5:37 AM

#

what are two numbers that multiplies to 9*4 and add to -12

#

since a=9, b=-12, c=4

vagrant hill Mar 6, 2026, 5:43 AM

#

this is kinda hard since i actually dont know my times table

cerulean dirge Mar 6, 2026, 5:46 AM

#

😭

#

i mean just run through the factor pairs of 36 (9*4)

#

(1,36), (2,18), (3,12), (4,9), (6,6)

#

and the obviously these pairs except both numbers are negative

#

then pick the correct pair

vagrant hill Mar 6, 2026, 5:50 AM

#

ok

vagrant hill Mar 6, 2026, 6:06 AM

#

so does itbecome 36x+12x=0

#

none sum to 12

#

@cerulean dirge

#

help bro idk

cerulean dirge Mar 6, 2026, 6:37 AM

#

vagrant hill help bro idk

I’m back

#

How did u split -12x into 36x and 12x?

vagrant hill Mar 6, 2026, 6:38 AM

#

idk i just wrote stuff

cerulean dirge Mar 6, 2026, 6:40 AM

#

cerulean dirge (1,36), (2,18), (3,12), (4,9), (6,6)

I wrote the list of factors for 36 out for u alr

#

U have to take the negative versions of all of these to get the full list

#

Like (-1,-36) for ex

#

So what pair of these would add to -12 and multiply to 36

vagrant hill Mar 6, 2026, 6:42 AM

#

9 and 4

#

wait no

#

6 and 6

cerulean dirge Mar 6, 2026, 6:43 AM

#

Ye

#

Well -6 and -6

#

Close enough

vagrant hill Mar 6, 2026, 6:56 AM

#

ok then where do i sub em in

vagrant hill Mar 6, 2026, 7:22 AM

#

bro idk man ive been tryin

#

this is my latest one 12(-6)+36(-6)=-288

vagrant hill Mar 6, 2026, 8:03 AM
