Consider the following quadratic equation:
x^2+2x+1=0
Step 1 of 2 : Using the standard form ax2+bx+c=0
of the given quadratic equation, factor the left hand side of the equation into two linear factors
To factor the given quadratic equation, we can factorize it as (x+1)(x+1).
The left-hand side of the equation, x^2 + 2x + 1, can be rewritten as (x+1)(x+1).
Therefore, the quadratic equation x^2 + 2x + 1 = 0 can be factored into (x+1)(x+1) = 0.
