3-17: Rewriting Quadratic Expressions in Factored Form (Part 4)
Learning Goals
• Given a quadratic expression of the form a x 2 +bx +c , where a is not 1, write an
equivalent expression in factored form.
• Write a quadratic equation that represents a context, consider different methods for
solving it, and describe (orally) the limitations of each method.
A. (x + 4)(x − 3)
B. 3x2 − 8x + 5
C. x2 − 25
D. x2 + 2x + 3
3x 1x 4
3x 2x 2

6x 19x 10
2. Try to solve the equation by writing the expression in factored form and using the zero
product property.
3. Try to solve the equation by graphing the function using graphing technology. Explain
how you found the solution.
