How To: Factor trinomials with the "swing method"

This is a very interesting educational video on how to find the factor trinomials using the swing method. Let us take an example and find the factor trinomials for 2xsquare-13x-45. Let us use the swing method. So now we will get 2xsquare -13x-45. You have to find the suitable factors of 90. It is 18 and 5. If you multiply 18 by 5 you will get 90. You will get (x-18over2)(x+5over2). The final answer is (x-9)(2x+5). Now we have found out the factor trinomials of 2xsquare-13x-45. This swing meth...

How To: Factor a trinomial by GCF then grouping method

This is a video tutorial in the Education category where you are going to learn how to factor a trinomial by GCF then grouping method. For example how to factor the trinomial 6r(squared) – 28r + 16. The first thing is to get the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numbers. So, GCF of 6, 28 and 16 is 2. The trinomial can now be written as 2{3r(squared) – 14r + 8}. To factor by grouping, see the trinomial as the general formula of ar(squared) + br + c. To factor this, you got to look at the...

How To: Multiply fractions with an easy method

In this video the tutor shows how to multiply fractions. She says that compared to adding or subtracting fractions, it is easy to multiply fractions. She says that to multiply fractions first we need to multiply both the numerators together to arrive at the new numerator. Similarly we multiply the denominators to arrive at the new denominator. Now we can further reduce this new fraction to its simple form which is the desired result. This video shows a small step-by-step method to multiply eq...

How To: Use the Grouping factoring method

This video is about using the grouping factoring method. We're using a four term polynomial. There is a even number of terms. We can break them into two groups of 2. The first group of "2" the common factor is "a." The last group, the common factor is "-2b". The reason we use -2b is to assure that what is in the first group is the same as the second group. Because of the distributive property of multiplication over addition, we take the a-2b and put it in one bracket. Multiply by 3x+1. With 6...

How To: Divide fractions with a simple method

This video describes how to divide fraction values using simple method. Example we will take as in video "12" should be divided with "1/2" that is "12%(1/2)=?". This is the example we should solve. In first step we has to flip the "Denominator" to easily find the output. So now, we can rewrite the example as "(12/1)%(1/2)".It is in the form of division, when we convert it to multiplication it will change as "(12/1)/(1/2)" and then "(12/1)*(2/1). So, denominator "1/2" flipped to "2/1". In the ...

How To: Use the Simple Trinomial factoring method

In this video, you will learn how to factor a simple trinomial. You will learn how to recognize a simple trinomial, and how to completely factor the trinomial. Also, it shows you how to factor square variables. The last example in the video explains how to factor out a negative first term. You can't just drop the negative and forget it is there. The instructor teaches you how to remove this negative, then reminds you not to forget to put the negative into your final answer.
