Quadratic Equations (Factoring Method)

How to solve quadratic equation of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 with factoring

If the given quadratic equation can be factored, the equations can be solved as follows:

If ax 2 + bx + c = ( px + q )(rx + s )
q
px + q = 0 p
ax 2 + bx + c = 0 ( px + q )(rx + s ) = 0 x=
rx + s = 0 s
r
