I missed class today and this type of questions were given for homework. The teacher taught the rest of my class how to solve them this afternoon, so I had no clue. After watching this video a couple of times, I solve them like a pro. Thanks!!!

Wow. Thanks so much. Totally just saved me like thirty minutes of my life. Thank you!!!

Thank you so much!! I am going to use this to pass my test tomorrow. I could not factor at all and now I can factor all trinomials!

My students enjoyed using your method.  However, we found that we needed to make sure that if there is a common monomial factor that we take it out first in order to have the correct solution. Do youfind this to be true?

I have a question, I applied this to another problem and got half of it correct but the other I was unsure what to do with it. It begins as 2x^2 - 5x - 7.
When I got down to (x - 3 1/2), I moved the 2 and got (2x - 3).
The correct answer to that parenthesis should be (2x - 7). What did I do wrong?

[taetheknee]

one question. this method doesnt work very well when the product of the a and c value make a large number ie. 579?
