Factoring Trinomials and Factoring by Grouping

Factor
3v² - 4v - 7

• (3v-7)(v+1)

• 3(v-7)(v-1)

• (3v+1)(v-9)

• (3v+1)(v-10)

Factor
9x²-6x-8

• (3x+2)(3x-4)

• (3x+2)(3x+4)

• (3x-2)(3x-4)

• (x-1)(9x+8)

What factoring method involves 4 terms and using GCF's?

• Greatest Common Factor

• Factor by Grouping

• Factoring Trinomials with a 1 in front (X-puzzle)

• Factoring Trinomials with a number in front (A*C X Puzzle)

Write 4x³ +2x²-6x in factored form.

• 2x(2x-3)(x+1)

• 4x(2x+3)(x-1)

• 2x(2x+3)(x-1)

• 4x(2x-3)(x+1)

What method should you use to factor the polynomial?

• Factor by Grouping

• Factor out the GCF

• Difference of Squares

• Trinomials (ac,b,T-chart)

What is the GCF of the trinomial?
3x² - 9x -120

• 3

• 2

• 6

• 9

Factor by grouping: 4p³ + 8p² + 3p + 6

• (2p²+3)(p+2)

• (2p²+6)(p+4)

• (4p²+3)(p+2)

• (4p²+8p)(3p+6)

Factor by grouping:
x³+7x²-2x-14

• (x²-2)(x-7)

• (x²+2)(x-7)

• (x²+2)(x+7)

• (x²-2)(x+7)

What is ALWAYS the first step when factoring?

• Look for the GCF

• Write a, b, and c

• Difference of squares

• Group

Determine Factoring Type x² + 9x - 36

• By GCF

• trinomial when a=1

• by grouping

• trinomial when a is not 1
