This document contains notes on solving quadratic equations by factoring and graphing parabolas. It discusses factoring techniques like GCF, trinomials using the box method, and multi-step factoring. It provides examples of factoring quadratic equations set equal to zero. It also reviews how to graph parabolas by finding the axis of symmetry, vertex, and using symmetry to plot additional points. Homework includes factoring and graphing practice problems in preparation for a quiz the next day.
