Given a quadratic equation with the leading coefficient of 1, factor it.
Find two numbers whose product equals
c and whose sum equals
b .
Use those numbers to write two factors of the form
where
k is one of the numbers found in step 1. Use the numbers exactly as they are. In other words, if the two numbers are 1 and
the factors are
Solve using the zero-product property by setting each factor equal to zero and solving for the variable.
Factoring and solving a quadratic with leading coefficient of 1
Factor and solve the equation:
To factor
we look for two numbers whose product equals
and whose sum equals 1. Begin by looking at the possible factors of
The last pair,
sums to 1, so these are the numbers. Note that only one pair of numbers will work. Then, write the factors.
To solve this equation, we use the zero-product property. Set each factor equal to zero and solve.
The two solutions are
and
We can see how the solutions relate to the graph in
[link] . The solutions are the
x- intercepts of
Using the zero-product property to solve a quadratic equation written as the difference of squares
Solve the difference of squares equation using the zero-product property:
Recognizing that the equation represents the difference of squares, we can write the two factors by taking the square root of each term, using a minus sign as the operator in one factor and a plus sign as the operator in the other. Solve using the zero-factor property.
Factoring and solving a quadratic equation of higher order
When the leading coefficient is not 1, we factor a quadratic equation using the method called grouping, which requires four terms. With the equation in standard form, let’s review the grouping procedures:
With the quadratic in standard form,
multiply
Find two numbers whose product equals
and whose sum equals
Rewrite the equation replacing the
term with two terms using the numbers found in step 1 as coefficients of
x.
Factor the first two terms and then factor the last two terms. The expressions in parentheses must be exactly the same to use grouping.
Factor out the expression in parentheses.
Set the expressions equal to zero and solve for the variable.
Solving a quadratic equation using grouping
Use grouping to factor and solve the quadratic equation:
First, multiply
Then list the factors of
The only pair of factors that sums to
is
Rewrite the equation replacing the
b term,
with two terms using 3 and 12 as coefficients of
x . Factor the first two terms, and then factor the last two terms.
Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

Every time someone flushes a toilet in the apartment building, the person begins to jumb back automatically after hearing the flush, before the water temperature changes. Identify the types of learning, if it is classical conditioning identify the NS, UCS, CS and CR. If it is operant conditioning, identify the type of consequence positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement or punishment
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
