3. Lesson 8.3:
*To factor trinomials in the form of x2 + bx + c, find 2 integers with a
sum of b and a product of c.
ex ­­>x2 + 6x + 8
factors sum of factors

4. *A quadratic equation is: ax2 + bx + c = 0 and can be solved
by factoring and then using the zero property.
ex ­­> x2 + 6x = 27
factors sum of factors
