How to factorised quadraticsin simple form thank you

Answer 1

Answer:

ax²+ bx + c = 0

Step-by-step explanation

Multiplying (x+4) and (x−1) together (called Expanding) gets x2 + 3x − 4 :

expand vs factor quadratic

So (x+4) and (x−1) are factors of x2 + 3x − 4

Just to be sure, let us check:

(x+4)(x−1)  = x(x−1) + 4(x−1)

 = x2 − x + 4x − 4

 = x2 + 3x − 4 yes

Yes, (x+4) and (x−1) are definitely factors of x2 + 3x − 4
