Solving Quadratics & Factoring
This review covers the main methods used to solve quadratic equations, including finding zeros through factoring, the NIKE method, the quadratic formula, and completing the square. It also reviews polynomial factoring strategies such as GCF, easy and hard trinomials, difference of squares (DOS), sum/difference of cubes (SOC/DOC), factoring by grouping (FRG), and the use of substitution ("let") for more complex expressions. The material is designed as a comprehensive exam review and practice guide for Algebra students preparing for tests on quadratic functions and polynomial factoring.
