LHHS - Solving by Factoring Review

What is the first question you ask yourself when factoring a polynomial? 

• How many terms does it have? 
• Is there a GCF? 
• What strategy should I use? 
• Why do I have to learn this?!?!?!

What is the first step in solving

(x + 2)(x - 3) = 0 ?

• Plug in zero for x

• Solve for x

• FOIL/Distribute

• Set each binomial factor equal to zero

Solve using Zero-Product Property.

(2x - 2)(5x + 5) = 0

• x = -1

• x = -1 or x = 1

• x = 1

• x = -2 or x = 5

Solve using Zero Product Property:

(x - 3)(x + 6) = 0

• x= -3, x= -6

• x= 3, x= -6

• x= -3, x= 6

• x= 3, x= 6

Solve by factoring: x² - 9x + 20 = 0

• x = -4 and x = -5
• x = 20 and x = -9
• x = 4 and x = 5
• x = -4 and x = 5

Solve by factoring: x² + 3x - 18 = 0

• x = -3 and x = 6
• x = 3 and x = -6
• x = -9 and x = 2
• x = 9 and x = -2
