Factoring Trinomials Slide and Divide

Which polynomials would be factored by Product/Sum Method or the Slide & Divide Method?

• 8x² + 10x

• 8x² + 10x - 21

• 3x² + 31x + 36

• x² - 11x - 12

• 5x³ - 30x² - 6x + 36

Answer explanation

Throughout our lessons you should have been taking note of when to do which type of factoring.

**GCF: any terms as long as they have a common factor other than 1.
**Grouping: only when you have 4 terms.
** Product/Sum or Slide & Divide (both similar methods): only for trinomials.

Answer explanation

Remember what the word "factor" means!

Review the 2/25 lesson on grouping if needed.

How should you factor the following expression?  
9x² - 12x + 4

• Perfect Squares:
  Use (x + a ) (x - a )

• Perfect Cubes:
  Use SOP SMS

• No Leading Coefficient: Go straight to (x ± a) (x ± b)

• Multiply 1st & Last;
  Replace middle term;
  Factor by Grouping
