      After doing some research, I figured out why it works the way it does. Firstly, you should know that the reason you're able to multiply AC is because of the nature/pattern of Quadratics. No matter the method you use, the factors you generate will always be factors of AC.
      Secondly, this method works by compensation. When you multiply AC, you're actually increasing the constant by whatever the leading term is. This also means that the factors you generate are going to be as many times as large (based on whatever the leading coefficient is. As such, you have to divide by whatever the leading coefficient is to compensate for this.
      Now, I want to address by you swing up the leading coefficient when it can't be divided out. What you're actually doing is multiply the fraction by whatever the denominator is -- in order to put it in standard form. Technically, leaving it as a fraction is not wrong. The fraction and standard form are actually equivalent. I hope this helps.

      @@rocketpencil5948 It is simple, once a person "gets it." However, one problem I continually see is that too many math will call things "tricks," don't explain the mathematical logic behind what they are doing, and just expect students to memorize steps. The longer approach isn't much longer than the shortcut, and you can actually see your work. Using area models are pretty quick as well.

    another method:
    P = 4 (the coefficient in 1st term)
    Q = -6 (the coefficient is 3rd term)
    P × Q = -24
    Try to find 2 numbers when added is equal to the coefficient of the middle term (which is -5) and if multiplied then equal to P × Q (-24)
    You can do this by the process of elimination or do this in a calculator which is easier. (Scroll down to see how)
    In this case it is -8 and 3 which adds to -5
    And -8 x 3 = -24
    So. 4x² - 8x + 3x - 6
    and then 4x(x-2) 3(x-2)
    Last step (x-2)(4x+3)

    Better way and makes more sense:
    Do A times C because quadratics are in the form ax^2 + bx + c
    So 4 x 6 = 24
    Factors that make up 24 and sum to -5 is -8 and 3, So rewrite original equation as
    4x^2 - 8x + 3x - 6
    Then factorise
    4x(x-2) + 3(x-2)

    U can use split middle term
    1. Multiply first term coefficient and last constant
    2. Find a factor which products to that and sums to the middle ( keep in mind the signs)
    3. Split the middle term by making product factors different (eg- x2-5x+6 factors of 6 are 1.6,2.3 and - 2+( -3)=-5 ie the middle term. Then write it as x2-2x-3x+6. Take common factor i.e. x(x-2)- 3(x-2) .Then group the terms outside and the common thingie inside.
    (x-3)(x-2)

    I think I know why this makes sense. So basically, you take the quadratic equation formula, where it's and you can move it from a to c, and it doesn't change value under the square root, only decreases the denominator, so you can solve that by decreasing the values by the correct amount

    I learned the ac method. You multiply a and c (a is the leading coefficient c is the constant) and find the numbers that add/subtract to the product. Then you put them into a factored group with the leading coefficient and divide by the leading coefficient and then simplify. For example: 3x^2 -4x -15; ac: -45 -9 + 5; 1/3(3x - 9)(3x + 5); (x-3)(3x + 5)

  • @ozzy_animations17
    @ozzy_animations17 3 месяца назад +2

    One thing i think you missed which could be addressed with a different example is splitting up the A term when it comes to dividing the M and N terms (x+m)(x+n). If the A term doesn’t go into either of the terms, you can split up the A term into two factors that the M and N terms can divide by, so long as the other term is applied to the X terms. For example, the equation (6x^2 + 5x + 1). You can use this method, but that results in (x+3)(x+2) before the last step can be applied. However, because 6 doesn’t divide evenly into either of those, you need to split it up. Splitting the 6 into 3 and 2 and then dividing results in (x+1)(x+1), but that isn’t right, so we need to apply the other factor of 6 to the X terms. So, for the first factor, if I divided the 3 by a 3, I need to add a 2 to the X term because that is the other factor of 6 other than the one I divided the M term by. This results in (2x+1). Now I need to do the same for the other factor, so, because I divided the N term by 2, I apply the 3 (the other factor of 6) to the X term. This results in (3x+1). And now, (2X+1)(3X+1) is your correct factored form!

    Haha I independently discovered this method more than two years before this video, when I was teaching my son. Too many "degrees of freedom" when dealing with two coefficients you have to factor and juggle, so I wanted to make things simple for my kid by transforming it to a monic (lead coefficient one). I was inspired by the "ac" term in the discriminant of the quadratic formula, so thought of multiplying. And the rest of it is the same as yours. :)

  • @NoisqueVoaProduction
    @NoisqueVoaProduction 3 года назад +4

    Usually you look for the factors in the first coefficient and the last, then look for the combinations to see which ones fit. Like:
    4x^2-5x-6
    Factor first coefficient: (1,4), (2,2), (4,1)
    Factor last coefficient: (1,6), (2,3), (3,2),(6,1)
    This one works since of the answer is in the form of (ax+b)(cx+d) the first coefficient would be ac and the last coefficient would be bd. The middle one would be (ad+bc). A cross multiplication.
    And you try for the mixes that work(remembering the +/-) with example, if you try (1,4) and (1,6) you would get 6+4.
    The right case is (1,4)(2,-3). Which means (x+2)(4x-3).
    But why did that algorithm worked?
    Well, first, we are multiplying the last coefficient to the first and making the first equals to one.
    We preserve that the multiplication of both would be the same.
    Now we have 3 cases, in the monic form, there may be one factor that divides by the first coefficient, or none, or both.
    In the first scenario, if one factor can be divided by "a", we are dividing this factor with "a", but since the other one is not divided by "a", we are multiplying the monic by "a", which means the multiplication stays the same.

    • @NoisqueVoaProduction
      @NoisqueVoaProduction 3 года назад

      In the second example, we have 4x^2+4x-15.
      By the method, we have. // x^2+4-60//(x+10)(x-6). Since both are not divisible by 4, the answer by the algorithm is (4x+10)(4x-6).
      Which is weird. Since the result of the multiplication is different, it results in 16x^2. So we realize that we can factor everything with 2.
      So the answer is 2(2x+5)(2x-3). Which is not the original answer, but it is double. If you only want to know the zero of the function it works. But be aware of that!
      So, you always have some factor in common, because of the Aritmethic Fundamental Theorem, but not all.
      So, if we compare with the explanation from above, we already have the multiplication right with 10 times 6. So what happens if we multiply both by 4? You are making it 4 times larger! But what happens next? We are dividing everything by 2, which means we are dividing the result by 4 again, that is why it also works.
      This one is easier to prove because 4 is a square number, but I guess we follow a similar knowledge with other compound and prime numbers.
      Didn't thought about the case where both can be divided, maybe it is impossible and we can prove it (if we put the additional conditions blackened pen put on one of the first comments)

This is not a new method it is basically saying that the constant is (a.b) and the middle term is -(a+b) in a general quadratic equation of the form (x-a)(x-b)=0 which is taught everywhere in the very first class of Quadratic equations. It is the simplest property of Quadratic equations. If u r calling it a new method and giving it an entirely different name like "middle term split method" that shows that u don't actually understand it in depth.

    We do this by factorising the first and third terms' numbers. I.e- 4= 2,2 ; 6 = 2,3.

    for e.g here
    4x2 + (-5x) + (-6)
    multiply the A and C terms (not in the equation but just to break down the middle term)
    you get 24
    now factorize AC in a way that you get two such numbers who’s sum is equal to BX but also equal to AC
    so, 8x3 = 24 -8 + 3 = -5
    we get now 4x2 - 8x + 3x - 6 Now we just simply take common so 4x(x-2) + 3(x-2) = (x-2)(4x+3)

      This is called factorisation method.
      This is not a trick it's a proper method.
      Let's just take an example of a quadratic equation 3x^2+4x-4
      In this equation the product of the coefficients of x^2 and constant is -12 so you have to make the factors of -12 suck that the sum of the factors will become the coefficient of x
      Here it is 6 and -2
      Now we can also write the equation as 3x^2+(6-2)x-4
      =3x^2+6x-2x-4
      Now you have to take 3x common in first two terms and -2 in next two terms
      =3x(x+2)-2(x+2)
      Now just take x+2 as common
      You'll get (x+2)(3x-2)
      And these are the factors of the polynomial

  • @westonmiller9740
    @westonmiller9740 10 месяцев назад +2

    FYI this doesn't always work. If there is a coefficient on the variable of both factors, you end up with an extra step where you have to find the gcf of both factors. For example,
    6x^2+5x+1
    X^2+5x+6
    (x+2)(x+3) you can't pull the 6 out of either factor here. If this happens, you keep going to get
    (6x+2)(6x+3) but foiling this doesn't give the original problem. The gcf of the first factor is 2 and the gcf of the second is 3, so you divide each factor by their gcfs to get
    (3x+1)(2x+1)

    How u can transfer 4 to k i.e. -6 its wrong i think bcoz its different term...Please guide me if im wrong

      That's just a way to think about it. It's just multiplication; then you divide by that original 4 in the end

      The method is wrong. Just take the ex: 4x^2 -28x -32

    Assuming that the quadratic equation eq1: ax^2 + bx + c has a solution within the complex number range, and the factorization equation is a(x-p) (x-q) → (ax-ap) (x-q), the discrimination equation D_1 = (-b+-sqrt (b^2-4ac)/2a of the original quadratic equation.
    For another quadratic equation eq2: x^2 + bx + ac, assuming that this quadratic equation is (x-m) (x-n), the discriminant in the original equation of eq2 is
    D_2= (-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2.
    | • • • • In aD_1 = D_2, we can see that the two roots of eq1 in (ax-ap)(x-q), the two roots of eq1 are p, q, and in | the two roots of eq2 are m/a = p, n/a = q. Substituting this into the factorization equation of eq1 yields (ax-m)(x-n/a) = (ax-ap) (x-q). (Since p,q multiplied by a is m,n, we can see that a is a non-complex real number, and even if p,q,m, and n are complex numbers, the values substituted in the original equation are the same.) maybe?

      Please let me know if there are any mathematical discrepancies. It's the best to prove this because I'm a high school student

    or
    multiply the numerical coefficients of the first and the last term.
    6*4=24
    Prime factorise 24
    and split the middle term accordingly
    so u get:
    4x²-8x+3x-6
    =4x(x-2) +3(x-2)
    =(x-2) (4x+3)

    This is one of the few things that I feel proud of knowing since it’s something my American school actually taught for some reason, along with a few other methods too of course as this one doesn’t always work.

    Isn't this what middle term breaking is called?
    You multiply the coefficient of the first term with the constant and the term you get should be the product of the 2 terms you break the middle one into but it also has to sum back to the original equation
    So basically its, 4x²-8x+3x-6
    You factor out, 4x(x-8)-3(x+3)
    And the answer is, (x-8)(4x-3)
