  1. Factoring Trinomials ax 2 + bx + c (a > 1) • Model the following by drawing rectangles with the given areas. • Label the sides. • Factor the area/polynomial. (Hint: Since the sides multiply to equal the area, the sides are the factors.) • 2x 2 + 7x + 6

  2. Factoring Trinomials ax 2 + bx + c (a > 1) • Model the following by drawing rectangles with the given areas. • Label the sides. • Factor the area/polynomial. (Hint: Since the sides multiply to equal the area, the sides are the factors.) • 2x 2 + 7x + 6 2x 3 x 2x 2 + 7x + 6 =(2x + 3)( x + 2) 2

  4. Factoring Trinomials ax 2 + bx + c (a > 1) - Conclusions • Have any conclusions/rules been discovered about factoring ax 2 + bx + c other than drawing rectangles and determining the sides? Ex. 2x 2 + 5x – 12

  5. Factoring Trinomials ax 2 + bx + c (a > 1) - Conclusions • Have any conclusions/rules been discovered about factoring ax 2 + bx + c other than drawing rectangles and determining the sides? Ex. 2x 2 + 5x – 12 2x -3 x 2x 2 + 5x – 12 = (2x - 3)( x + 4) 4 Have you noticed anything about the terms here? x to = singles ( -3 x 4 = -12) and 2 x 4 + (-3) = 5

  6. Factoring Trinomials ax 2 + bx + c (a > 1) - Conclusions • Although the previous observations are true they may not help that much. If applied to 2x 2 + 9x + 4 it would require you to find two #’s that multiply to equal 4 while also finding a # that multiplies by one of the factors used above plus the other to equal the 9. ex. 2x 2 + 9x + 4 (?x + ?)(x + ?) x to equal 4

  7. Factoring Trinomials ax 2 + bx + c (a > 1) - Conclusions • Although the previous observations are true they may not help that much. If applied to 2x 2 + 9x + 4 it would require you to find two #’s that multiply to equal 4 while also finding a # that multiplies by one of the factors used above plus the other to equal the 9. ex. 2x 2 + 9x + 4 (?x + ?)(x + ?) x to equal 4 and x + = 9 For most of us, drawing or at least thinking about a rectangle may be the best option.
