When we factor a polynomial, the first thing we look for is any (a)
10x³ - 15x
Factor using GCF or monomial factoring:
2n2-8n3
2n2(n-4n2)
2n2(1-4n)
2n3(10-8n2)
3n(1-4n)
Factor the following polynomial by determining a GCF
21x -15y
3(7x - 5y)
3x(7 - 5y)
7(3x - 5y)
3y(7x - 5)
prime
Factor the following polynomial by determining a GCF
5p2 + 12q3
pq( 5p + 12q2)
(5 + 12)(p2 + q3)
5(p2 + 12q3)
12(5p2 + q3)
prime
Once we have a quadratic trinomial, we check to make sure it is of the form ax2 + bx + c. Our goal is to break this into its two binomial factors. To do so, we look for numbers that will multiply to ___ and add up to ____. (Use a, b, or c in your answer)
(a)
We also learned a tool to help us find those factors. Use the image to determine which numbers (in this example) multiply to 8 and add up to 6.
4, 2
4, 4
1, 8
-4, -2
x2 -17x - 60
x2 - 30x + 225
(x + 7)2
x2 + 9x - 36
x2 - 144
(x - 3)(x - 3)?
Factor the following trinomial
c2 - 12c - 45
(c - 15)(c + 3)
(c - 3)(c + 15)
(c - 9)(c + 5)
(c - 5)(c + 9)
prime
n2 + 16n + 63
k2 - 2k - 24
n2 - 13n + 40
x² - 4x + 24
d2 - 10d + 25
x2 + 9x - 36
n2 + 5n - 6
Ok- enough factoring for now. Let's make sure we can still multiply, add, and subtract. Simplify the expression using the distributive property..
x3(2x2+3x)
2x5+3x4
2x6+3x3
5x9
5x
-5x6(3x2 - 12x + 30)
-15x8 + 60x7 - 150x6
15x8 - 60x7 - 150x6
8x6 - 17x + 35
-8x6 + 17x - 35x2
(b + 3)(b2 + 2b + 1)
(x - 4)(x - 6)
Multiply.
(x + 7)2
x2 + 7x + 7x + 49
x2 + 7x + 7
7x2 + x + 7
x2 + 14x + 49
(4x - 2x3) + (5x3 - 4x + 5)
(x5 + x3) - (6x - x3 + 6x5)
(3x2 + 6x - 1) + (4x2 + 5x + 9)
-x2 + x - 10
x2 - x + 10
7x2 + 11x + 8
7x2 + 11x + 10
