Determine whether is a perfect square trinomial. If so, factor it. Yes, 1. Is the first term a perfect square? 2. Is the last term a perfect square? Yes, No, 3. Is the middle term equal to ? Answer: is not a perfect square trinomial. Example 6-1a
Determine whether each trinomial is a perfect square trinomial. If so, factor it. a. b. Answer: yes; Example 6-1b Answer: not a perfect square trinomial
Factor . 6 is the GCF. and Factor the difference of squares. Answer: Example 6-2a First check for a GCF. Then, since the polynomial has two terms, check for the difference of squares.
Factor . This polynomial has three terms that have a GCF of 1. While the first term is a perfect square,the last term is not. Therefore, this is not a perfect square trinomial. This trinomial is in theform Are there two numbers m and n whose product is and whose sum is 8? Yes, the product of 20 and –12 is –240 and their sum is 8. Example 6-2a
Write the pattern. and Group terms with common factors. Factor out the GCF from each grouping. Answer: is thecommon factor. Example 6-2a
Factor each polynomial. a. b. Answer: Answer: Example 6-2b
