Ax2 + bx + c 6.3 Factoring Trinomials II
Factoring Trinomials Review X2 + 6x + 5 (x )(x ) Find factors of 5 that add to 6: 1*6 = 6 1+6 = 7 2*3 = 6 2+3 = 5 (x + 2)(x + 3)
Factoring Trinomials where a ≠ 1 Follow these steps: 1. Find two numbers that multiply to ac and add to b for ax2 + bx + c 2. Replace bx with the sum of the 2 factors found in step 1. ie: ax2 + bx + c becomes ax2 + mx + nx + c, where m and n are the factors found in step 1. 3. Use grouping to factor this expression into 2 binomials
2x2 + 5x + 2 Step 1: ac = 2*2 = 4 1*4 = 4 1+4 = 5 2*2 = 4 2+2 = 4 m = 1 and n = 4 Step 2: Rewrite our trinomial by expanding bx 2x2 + 1x + 4x + 2 Step 3: Group and Factor (2x2 + 1x) + (4x + 2) x(2x + 1) + 2( 2x + 1) (2x + 1) (x + 2)
2x2 + 5x + 2 Questions for thought: Does it matter which order the new factors are entered into the polynomial? Do the parenthesis still need to be the same? Will signs continue to matter when finding m and n? Does it matter how we group the terms for factoring?
3z2 + z – 2 Step 1: ac = 3*-2 = -6 -1*6 = -6 -1+6 = 5 1* -6 = -6 1+-6 = -5-2*3 = -6 -2+3 = 1 2* -3 = -6 2+-3 = -1 m = -2 and n = 3 Step 2: Rewrite our trinomial by expanding bx 3z2 + 3z – 2z – 2 Step 3: Group and Factor (3z2 + 3z) + (-2z - 2) 3z(z + 1) - 2( z + 1) (z + 1) (3z - 2)
3z2 + z – 2 Step 1: ac = 3*2 = 6 -1*6 = -6 -1+7 = 6 1* -6 = -6 1+-7 = -6-2*3 = -6 -2+3 = 1 2* -3 = -6 2+-3 = -1 m = -2 and n = 3 Step 2: Rewrite our trinomial by expanding bx 3z2+ 3z – 2z – 2 Notice that I changed the order of m and n between step 1 and step 2. Why do you think I did this? Do you have to change the order to get the correct answer?
3z2 + z – 2 What are the 3 steps for solving this quadratic equation? Step 1: Multiply a*c. Find the factors that multiply to ac and add to b Step 2: Expand bx to equal mx + nx Step 3: Group and Factor

4x3 – 22x2 + 30x Step 2: Expand bx to equal mx + nx -11x = -5x + -6x 2x(2x2 – 5x – 6x + 15) Step 3: Group and Factor 2x((2x2 – 5x )(– 6x + 15)) 2x(x(2x – 5) -3(2x – 5)) 2x(2x – 5) (x – 3)

1. Differnce of Squares 2. Perfect Square Trinomials (Sum and Difference of Cubes is not included)
Difference of Squares Think back to Chapter 5. What happened when we multiplied a sum and difference? (a – b)(a + b) = a2 – b2 So, the reverse is also true. a2 – b2 = (a – b)(a + b)
x2 – 25 Notice that we do not have a bx term. This means that we only have the F and L in foil; therefore, none of the procedures from 6.1, 6.2, or 6.3 will work. We need to use a2 – b2 = (a – b)(a + b) where a = x and b = 5 X2 – 25 = (x – 5)(x + 5)
x2 – 36 We need to use a2 – b2 = (a – b)(a + b) where a = x and b = 6 X2 – 36 = (x – 6)(x + 6)
Practice 4x2 – 9 100 – 16t2 49y2 – 64z2
Practice 4x2 – 9 a = 2x, b = 3 (2x – 3) (2x + 3) 100 – 16t2 a = 10, b = 4t (10 – 4t) (10 + 4t) 49y2 – 64z2 a = 7y, b = 8z (7y – 8z) (7y + 8z)
Perfect Square Trinomials Think back to Chapter 5. What happened when we squared a binomial? (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2 So, the reverse is also true. a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2 a2 – 2ab + b2 = (a – b)2
x2 + 10x + 25 This can be worked 2 different ways The first way is the simplest, but depends on whether you recognize the equation as a perfect square trinomial. a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2 Where a = x and b = 5 x2 + 10x + 25 = (x + 5)2
x2 + 10x + 25 This can be worked 2 different ways The second way is to use the method we learned in 6.2 x2 + 10x + 25 5*5 = 25 and 5+5 = 10 (x + 5) (x + 5) or (x + 5)2
4x2 - 4x + 1 This can be worked 2 different ways The first way is the simplest, but depends on whether you recognize the equation as a perfect square trinomial. a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2 Where a = 2x and b = 1 4x2 - 4x + 1 = (2x – 1)2
4x2 - 4x + 1 This time we need to use the 6.3 method 4*1 = 4 -2 * -2 = 4 and -2 + -2 = -4 (4x2 – 2x) ( – 2x + 1) 2x(2x – 1) – 1(2x – 1) (2x – 1) (2x – 1) or (2x – 1)2
Practice x2 – 4xy + 4y2 9a2 – 60a + 100 25y2 + 20yz + 4z2
Practice x2 – 4xy + 4y2 a = x, b = 2y (x – 2y)2 9a2 – 60a + 100 a = 3a, b = 10 (3a – 10) 25y2 + 20yz + 4z2 a = 5y, b = 2z (5y + 2z)
