https://padlet.com/amandaleiter/zq8hd5cdix10z7xr What is your go-to method to solve a quadratic equation? en-us 2021-06-22 15:32:58 UTC 2025-10-22 15:08:57 UTC hello@padlet.com amandaleiter https://padlet.com/amandaleiter/zq8hd5cdix10z7xr/wish/1619914098 I always check to see if a quadratic can be factored first. I have always loved factoring because it is like taking a math puzzle apart. On the flip side, the Distribute Property, or FOIL, is like putting a math puzzle together. ]]> 2021-06-22 15:44:20 UTC https://padlet.com/amandaleiter/zq8hd5cdix10z7xr/wish/1619914098 https://padlet.com/amandaleiter/zq8hd5cdix10z7xr/wish/1633021699 I feel like completing the square is a bit fun, but I also like the quadratic formula because I already have it memorized and inputting values is simple.

If factoring does not work, then I use the quadratic formula as it is very straight forward, but it does take a while so I prefer factoring.

I check if I can factor it first, but if it's not a simple factoring problem I prefer the consistency of the quadratic formula.

It is a quick and simple way to plug in numbers and solve. There are so many different possibilities that can be taken when using this method. Although all methods have their own perks, the quadratic formula is the most versatile.

I also do sometimes enjoy completing the square.

As well as it is a efficient way to get to the answer. factoring isnt bad either but I go to the Quadratic Formula first.

I also like factoring but I find the Quadratic Formula to be a better choice for me. -Keylinn Yanes]]> 2021-07-21 14:41:44 UTC https://padlet.com/amandaleiter/zq8hd5cdix10z7xr/wish/1657193637
