A shortcut…
for factoring ax² + bx + c





(1) multiply ‘a’ and ‘c’ together to get new ‘c’ term. Write
new polynomial (keep ‘b’ term the same and make ‘a’ = 1)
(2) factor new polynomial normally.
(3) divide number terms of binomial by ‘a’.
(4) simplify fractions.
(5) move denominator of fractions in front of
variable terms of binomials

Problem Solving
A rectangle’s length is 13 meters more than 3 times its width. The area is 10 square
meters. What are the dimensions of the rectangle?
Area = length x width
w
10  w(3w  13)
10  3w 2  13w
3w + 13
0  3w2  13w  10
Substitute the solution to see the
dimensions of the rectangle.
0  (3w  2)( w  5)
3w  2  0 and w  5  0
(2/3)
3(2/3)+13
w = 2/3
w = -5
Can’t have negative width
Dimensions: 15’ x 2/3’
