alright
you know how to factor a quadratic right? multiply the coefficient of x^2 and the constant term and split the middle term in such a way
prime peak
Yeahh basically distrubitive property
prime peak
Yess
granite thunder
basically
when we factor
we want to split the middle term
in such a way that we get something common
let me share it with an example
prime peak
Okieee :)
granite thunder
$x^2+2x+1$
$x^2+x+x+1$
$x(x+1)+1(x+1)$
$(x+1)(x+1)$
Now, i split the middle term as such

Oh it a lottle confusing
prime peak
But I see how it workss
granite thunder
the main idea on how you split the term
prime peak
what if term is odd
granite thunder
is actually simple but hard to explain in text, so i can share a video
prime peak
Okieeee
granite thunder
what if term is odd
no the term doesnt need to be split in half
it can be split into two different terms
lemme give an example

anyway, you can refer to this video to learn the pattern in which you have to split the middle term
prime peak
OKIEEEEE
granite thunder
yh
prime peak
thank youu i watch video now
OH I got the second one right but idk the first one because why is it negative
in the firstt
granite thunder
yay
