Factoring X-tra Credit

Factor with magic X.webm

DUE: Friday March 20

In class on Thursday 3/5, I showed the Magic X technique for factoring polynomials when a>1.

To earn 5 points extra credit on the Polynomials Unit Test (3/17) I want for you to create a video (and EMAIL ME!- lauren.sanabria@pisd.edu) explaining the math behind this technique- WHY does it work?

I am not looking for a long video, maybe 2-5 minutes tops!
