CHAPTER 8.3 Objective One Factoring Polynomials in the form of ax2+bx+c using trial factors.
The coefficient of x2 is not 1. • Therefore, factors of the coefficient of the x2 and the last term must be considered in factoring the trinomial. Hence, a factoring by trial and error method may have to be implemented. • The factoring procedures previously used in Chapter 8 will also apply to factoring trinomials in the form of ax2+bx+c. • Note: if the trinomial does not have a common factor then the binomials cannot have a common factor. Also, if both first and both last terms of the binomials are even then the middle term of the trinomial cannot be odd.
