  1. Factoring Flow Chart On each slide click on the word that fits each step Next

  2. Look for greatest common monomial factorsNext

  3. What does your problem look like • Is it a binomial? • Is it a trinomial? • Is it a polynomial with 4 or more terms?

  4. Binomial • Is it the difference between two perfect squares? • Yes • No

  5. Factor to form(x + c)(x – c)Next

  6. Is either binomial a difference between two perfect squares • Yes • No

  7. Trinomials • Does your trinomial have a leading coefficient of : • One • A number other than one

  8. Trinomial with leading coefficient other than one • Is your last sign: • Positive • Negative

  9. Last sign positive • Is your middle sign: • Positive • Negative

  10. Last sign positive and middle sign positiveUse (ax + c)(bx + d) and check for your middle term • Are one of your factors difference between two perfect squares • Yes • No

  11. Last sign positive and middle sign negativeUse (ax - c)(bx - d) and check for your middle term • Are one of your factors difference between two perfect squares • Yes • No

  12. Last sign negativeUse (ax + c)(bx - d) and check for your middle term • Are one of your factors difference between two perfect squares • Yes • No

  13. Write as a product of two binomials • Is your last sign: • Positive • Negative

  14. Last sign positive • Is your middle sign: • Positive • Negative

  15. Last sign positive and middle sign positiveUse (x + c)(x + d) and check for your middle term • Are one of your factors difference between two perfect squares • Yes • No

  16. Last sign positive and middle sign negativeUse (x - c)(x - d) and check for your middle term • Are one of your factors difference between two perfect squares • Yes • No

  17. Last sign negativeUse (x + c)(x - d) and check for your middle term • Are one of your factors difference between two perfect squares • Yes • No

  18. Polynomial with 4 or more terms • Group two terms that have a common monomial factor • Factor out a common binomial factor • Ex. Ax + Ay + 3x + 3y • A(x + y) + 3(x + y) • (x + y)(A + 3) • Hint look for oppostites
