This is JEOPARDY! Today, I give the answer, you find the question Notes for April 15th Factoring polynomials using the greatest common monomial factor
Warm-Up Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) 36, 48 14, 42 x3,x2 60, 12
Word of the Day Lethargy moving at a slow pace; lazy or sleepy
Objective • IWBAT factor polynomial expressions using the greatest monomial factor
Remember: a factor is a number that when multiplied by another makes a product. So factors are like the answers I give on Jeopardy! and the polynomial is the answer.
So today, Ms. Siems is going to be like me. She will give you the answer and you need to factor it to get the question. But she won’t make you answer in the form of a question.
But before you … Ms. Siems will tell you how to do this!
model steps How do we do this? 3 1.) Copy the problem 2.) Determine the greatest common numerical factor 3.) Determine the greatest variable factor Remember, it could have an exponent! 4.) Factor out the GCF 5.) Check your work (re-distribute out) This is the answer though! x
I think I get it Ms. Siems, but can I see another example please?
