What is the first thing you do when factoring an expression?
Factor out the Greatest Common Factor.
Can all quadratic equations be solved?
Well, that depends on what you mean "solve by factoring." For any quadratic equation, it is possible to factor the quadratic, and then the roots can be recovered from the factors. So in the very weak sense that every quadratic can be solved by a method that involves getting the factors and recovering the roots from them, all quadratic equations can be solved by factoring. However, in most cases, the only way of factoring the quadratic in the first place is to first find out what its roots are, and then use the roots to factor the quadratic (any quadratic polynomial can be factored as k(x - r)(x - s), where k is the leading coefficient of the polynomial and r and s are its two roots), in which case trying to recover the roots from the factors is redundant (since you had to know what the roots were to get the factors in the first place). So to really count as solving by factoring, it makes sense to require that the solution method obtains the factors by means that _don't_ require already knowing the roots of the polynomial. And in this sense, most quadratic equations are not solvable through factoring.
Why is it important to always factor the radicand first when simplifying radicals?
The question is based on the premise that It is not possible to simplify a radical without first factorising it. That is simply not true. Beginners may find it a useful step but that does not make it "important to always factor".Simplifying radicals entails removing square factors of the radicand from under the radical. This can be done without factoring first.
When you are factoring a trinomial with a leading coefficient other than 1 what is the first step?

How can you tell whether the measurements on outside of bedspread package is width or length first?

in scientific method which should come first?

What is the first configuration change you should make when you first intall a router?
It is always good practice to change the default password to something else. If it is a wireless router you should also change the default SSID and enable an encryption method.

How do you solve an equation by factoring?
In the special case when a =1, the factoring method results in finding 2 NUMBERS knowing their sum and their product. The process is simple. However, when the constants a, b, c are large numbers, and contain themselves many factors, then the factoring method becomes complicated and takes long time in the process. For examples, solving these equations by the factoring method will take lot of time because of the high number of permutations: (6x^2 - 11x - 35 = 0) ; (45x^2 + 74x - 55 = 0) ; (45x^2 - 152x - 36 = 0); (12x^2 + 5x - 72 = 0) There is a new method, called Diagonal Sum Method, that can quickly and directly give the 2 roots, WITHOUT HAVING TO FACTOR THE EQUATION. The innovative concept of the new method is finding 2 FRACTIONS knowing their sum (-b/a) and their product (c/a). It is faster, more convenient than the factoring method since it requires fewer permutations by using the rule of signs for real roots. It is applicable whenever the equation can be factored. So, I advise you to proceed solving any quadratic equation in 2 steps. First step, use the Diagonal Sum method to solve it. It usually takes fewer than 3 trials. If it fails, then the quadratic formula must be used in second step. See book title:" New method for solving quadratic equations and inequalities" (Trafford Publishing 2009)
