but he specifically asked for quaddy... and it's a good fallback if the factoring don't work out

yeah, i know. you can figure out what x is by factoring though so it amounts to the same thing. you're supposed to do the quadratic equation, i know, but the factoring method's always worked for me. and it saves you the trouble of having to memorize the quadratic formula. :nod:

but even I remember the quadratic formula...and i am the oldest one here. Kudos to all of you on your math ability!!!

My teacher won't let me use the quadratic formula. She makes us factor it all.
That might be 'cause I'm not supposed to know it yet, though.

who needs math when you have a calculator and the internet? :mrgreen:

factoring is way way easier whenever it's possible

i bet i could out-solve your calculator if it's a fairly simple question

AnnieDreams · Post by **AnnieDreams** » 1/9/2006, 2:56 pm

factoring you have to like, think and figure it out.
Quadratic formula you just have to calculate.

I guess it depends where your strengths are.

unless you're in level one. Then go for the factoring.
