Problem 7 Standard 3: Factor Expressions in a way that the coefficients of x are positive.

4x^2+13-12

Observation:

1. I realize this is a quadratic equation
2. I realize this is an expression
3. I realize this can be simplified
4. I realized the highest degree is 2
5. I realized the biggest number is 13
6. I realize 4 and 12 can be factored
7. I realize the quadratic equation can be used
8. I understand the final coefficients must be positive
9. I see that there are 3 different terms
10. I see theirs a variable of x

Question:

1. How can I factor this?
2. How can I begin breaking the numbers down?
3. What evenly goes into 4 and 12?
4. What can I do with 13?
5. What can I do to make the numbers smaller?
6. Is this an expression or equation?
7. What makes this an expression?
8. What can make this an equation?
9. Would quadratic equation work for this?
10. What can 2 and 6 do?
