When raised to the third power, it is the number times itself three times.
-2(-2) = 4
4(-2) = -8
you have a quadratic equation that can be factored, like x2+5x+6=0.This can be factored into(x+2)(x+3)=0.
So the solutions are x=-2 and x=-3.

<span><span>1. Try first to solve the equation by factoring. Be sure that your equation is in standard form (ax2+bx+c=0) before you start your factoring attempt. Don't waste a lot of time trying to factor your equation; if you can't get it factored in less than 60 seconds, move on to another method.
</span><span>2. Next, look at the side of the equation containing the variable. Is that side a perfect square? If it is, then you can solve the equation by taking the square root of both sides of the equation. Don't forget to include a ± sign in your equation once you have taken the square root.
3.</span>Next, if the coefficient of the squared term is 1 and the coefficient of the linear (middle) term is even, completing the square is a good method to use.
4.<span>Finally, the quadratic formula will work on any quadratic equation. However, if using the formula results in awkwardly large numbers under the radical sign, another method of solving may be a better choice.</span></span>
