Hi Tine,
\n" ); document.write( "Using the quadratic equation \"0++=++x%5E2+-+6x+%2B+8\", perform the following tasks:
\n" ); document.write( "a) Solve by factoring.
\n" ); document.write( "Answer:
\n" ); document.write( "Show work in this space.
\n" ); document.write( "(x____)(x____)=0
\n" ); document.write( "Two numbers that multiply to get c=+8, but add to get b=-6
\n" ); document.write( "-2*-4=+8 and -2+(-4)=-6
\n" ); document.write( "(x-2)(x-4)=0 Set each parenthesis = 0 and solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( "x-2=0 and x-4=0
\n" ); document.write( "x-2+2=0+2 and x-4+4=0+4
\n" ); document.write( "x=2 and x=4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b) Solve by using the quadratic formula.

\n" ); document.write( "Show work in this space.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2-6x%2B8=0\" is in standard form \"highlight%28ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "a=1, b=-6, and c=8
\n" ); document.write( "The quadratic formula is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=%28-b%2B-sqrt%28b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29%29\"
