This figure is a photo of the Sydney Harbor bridge in Sydney, Australia.
The Sydney Harbor Bridge is one of Australia’s most photographed landmarks. It is the world’s largest steel arch bridge with the top of the bridge standing 134 meters above the harbor. Can you see why it is known by the locals as the “Coathanger”?

Quadratic expressions may be used to model physical properties of a large bridge, the trajectory of a baseball or rocket, and revenue and profit of a business.

In this chapter, you will explore the process of factoring expressions and see how factoring is used to solve certain types of equations.
