Factoring: Puzzle Method Extracting Square Roots u 2 = constant Difference of Two Squares x 2+bx+ c = 0 (x + )2= Completing the Square Perfect Square Trinomials Using Quadratic Formula Sum or Difference of Two Cubes
Polynomials of degrees > 2 • Objective is to get to a recognizable quadratic form & then to use one of your known tools. They are: • Factoring to a pair of binomials: (…)(…) • Extracting the Square: u2 – c = 0 • Completing the Sq: (x + )2 = • Quadratic Formula • Approaches for Polynomials of degrees > 2 : • First, factor … simple & complex hopefully to x2 • Let x2 = u … substitute, simplify & solve P P na P
