Factoring Quadratics — ax² + bx + c Topic 6.6.2
Lesson 1.1.1 Topic 6.6.2 Factoring Quadratics — ax² + bx + c California Standard: 11.0 Students apply basic factoring techniques to second-and simple third-degree polynomials. These techniques include finding a common factor for all terms in a polynomial,recognizing the difference of two squares, and recognizing perfect squares of binomials. What it means for you: You’ll learn how to factor more complicated quadratic expressions. • Key words: • quadratic • polynomial • factor • trial and error
Lesson 1.1.1 Topic 6.6.2 Factoring Quadratics — ax² + bx + c The method in Topic 6.6.1 for factoring a quadratic expression only works if the x2-term has a coefficient of 1. It’s a little more complicated when the x2-coefficient (a) isn’t 1 — but only a little.

Lesson 1.1.1 Topic 6.6.2 Factoring Quadratics — ax² + bx + c Note that if a number is positivethen its two factors will be either both positiveor both negative. If a number is negative, then its two factors will have different signs— one positiveand one negative. These facts give important clues about the signs of c1 and c2.

Topic 6.6.2 Factoring Quadratics — ax² + bx + c Example 2 Factor 3x2 + 11x + 6. Solution (continued) Now fill in the + / – signs. Both c1 and c2 are positive (since c = c1c2 and b = a1c2 + a2c1 are positive), so the final factors are (3x + 2)(x + 3). Check by expanding the parentheses to make sure they give the original equation: (3x + 2)(x + 3) = 3x2 + 9x + 2x + 6 = 3x2 + 11x + 6 That’s what you started with, so (3x + 2)(x + 3) is the correct factorization.

To add to get –x, 9x must be positive and 10x negative. So 5x2 – x – 18 = (5x + 9)(x – 2) b is negative and c is positive, so c1 and c2 must both be negative.(3x 1)(3x 1) multiply to 3x and 3x and add to 6x. So 9x2 – 6x + 1 = (3x – 1)2 c is negative, so one of c1 and c2 must be positive and the other negative(3t 1)(2t 1) multiply to 3t and 2t. To add to get t, 3t must be positive and 2t negative. So 6t2 + t – 1 = (3t – 1)(2t + 1) b and c are positive, so c1 and c2 must both be positive. (b 7)(b 3) multiply to 3b and 7b and add to 10b.So 9y2 + 6y + 1 = (3y + 1)2 Solution follows…

If the area of a rectangle is (6x2 + 25x + 14) square units and the length is (3x + 2) units, find the width w in terms of x. 10. The area of a parallelogram is (12x2 + 7x – 10) cm2, where x is positive. If the area is given by the formula Area = base × height, find the base length and the height of the parallelogram, given that they are both linear factors of the area.
