Factoring GPS Algebra Unit 4
GPS Standard • MM1A3. Students will solve simple equations. • Solve quadratic equations in the form ax2+ bx+ c = 0, where a = 1, by using factorization and finding square roots where applicable.
Day 1 Objective • Factor second degree polynomials (quadratic functions) using guess and check and “the big X”
Recall • Multiplying binomials: (x+1)(x+2) = x2+3x+2
Factoring • Multiplying binomials in reverse • Starting with a quadratic function, your goal is to find the two binomials that will multiply to give you back your original quadratic
Guess and Check • Guess what binomials you think might work, then multiply them together to see if you get the right answer
The BIG X c multiply X • ax2+ bx+ c v u b add =(x+u)(x+v)
Practice multiply 4 X • x2+ 5x + 4 1 4 5 add =(x+4)(x+1)
