4.3 Methods Of Solving Quadratic Equations

1) Factoring : If we can resolve ax² + bx + c into two linear factors, we can solve ax² + bx + c = 0; by using the theorem, we can put either factor to zero. This is known as solution by factors.

Steps : -      1) Put all terms on one side leaving zero on the                        other side.

2) Factorize
3) Use the theorem and set each factor equals to zero
4) Solve each equation.
