Exploring Factoring & 'FOIL' - II
Click on new problem.
A quadratic function f(x) appears (RED)
A quadratic function of the form
g(x) = (mx + b)(Mx + B)
is also plotted. Use the m, b, M and B sliders to adjust
g(x) so that it is equal to f(x)
What can you learn from the difference function, f(x) - g(x) ?
What can you learn from the graphs of the factors of the quadratic function ?
