Meaning of ecah variable in: 𝑦=𝑎(𝑥−𝑟)(𝑥−𝑠)
1st E.x. y=2(x-3)(x-1). The a value tells us that this equation is stretching by a factor of 2 and opening upwards. The x variables can be time or distance in an equation. The r and s variables give us the x-intercepts for the parabola, when using 3 point method.
2nd E.x. y= -2(x-1)(x+9). The a value in this equation tells us that it is stretching by a factor of 2 and is opening downwards. The x variables can be time or distance in an equation. The r and s variables give us the x-intercepts for the parabola, when using 3 point method.
3rd E.x. y= 0.5(x+2)(x+7). In this equation, a tells us that it is vertically compressing by a factor of 0.5. The x variables can be time or distance in an equation. The r and s variables give us the x-intercepts for the parabola, when using 3 point method.

All the types of Factoring
Greatest Common Factor
How to do Common Factoring
You have this equation: 21x^2 + 42x
First find the greatest common factor, which is 7.
Then find the greatest common variable(s). which in this would be x
Next write out the Greatest Common Factor and the Common Variable.
In this case the answer would be 7x(3x+6)
You have this equation: 21x^2 + 42x
First find the greatest common factor, which is 7.
Then find the greatest common variable(s). which in this would be x
Next write out the Greatest Common Factor and the Common Variable.
In this case the answer would be 7x(3x+6)
Simple factoring (a=1)
How to do Simple Factoring
E.x. there is an equation: x^2 + 4x + 3
First find 2 numbers that multiply to a*c and adds to b. In this equation it would be 1 and 3
Then substitute these numbers in for 4x. It would be in this equation x^2 + 1x + 3x + 3.
Next common factor the first 2 terms and the last 2 terms. it should be like so x(x+1) + 3(x+1).
Take the numbers in the brackets and put only one. After that write the numbers and variables that are outside, in brackets.
The answer should be: (x+3)(x+1)

Complex factoring
How to do Complex factoring
E.x. you are given this equation: 3x^2 + 5x + 2
First multiply the first and last terms to find a number, then find 2 numbers that multiply to a*c and adds to b.
When found write them down in place of 5x, then common factor the 1st and 2nd terms along with the 3rd and 4th terms.
Then if there is a common in both brackets write one down and use your common factors to write the other part.
The answer to the above question is: (3x+2)(x+1)

Difference of squares
How to do difference of squares
E.x. you have this equation: x^2 16
First square root this: x^2, which will give you just x
Next square root 16, which will give you 4
Finally write the answer out as (x+b)(x-b).
For this question it would be written as (x+4)(x-4)

Perfect square (a+b)^2
How to do a perfect Square.
E.x you have this: (a+5)^2
First write it out like so (a+5)(a+5)
Second rewrite the equation like this: a^2 + 2ab + b squared
Lastly solve.
E.x you have this: (a+5)^2
First write it out like so (a+5)(a+5)
Second rewrite the equation like this: a^2 + 2ab + b squared
Lastly solve.
