What is a reasonable approach for choosing between the various methods for solving quadratic equations?
Choose the correct answer below.
A.
Start by factoring. If factoring seems too difficult, complete the squares or use the Quadratic Formula. Then try special patterns like differences of squares.
B.
Start by completing the squares. If completing the squares does not work, try factoring, and then look for special patterns like differences of squares. Finally, use the Quadratic Formula if necessary.
C.
Start by looking for special patterns like differences of squares. Then try to factor. If factoring seems too difficult, complete the squares or use the Quadratic Formula.
D.
Start by using the Quadratic Formula. If the quadratic formula does not work, look for special patterns like differences of squares. Then try to factor.
