Learning Targets Students will be able to: Choose an appropriate method for factoring a polynomial and combine methods for factoring a polynomial.
Recall that a polynomial is in its fully factored form when it is written as a product that cannot be factored further.
Tell whether each polynomial is completely factored. If not factor it. A. 3x2(6x– 4) 6x – 4 can be further factored. 6x2(3x– 2) Factor out 2, the GCF of 6x and – 4. completely factored B. (x2 + 1)(x– 5) completely factored
Caution x2 + 4 is a sum of squares, and cannot be factored.
Tell whether the polynomial is completely factored. If not, factor it. A. 5x2(x– 1) completely factored B. (4x + 4)(x + 1) 4x + 4 can be further factored. 4(x +1)(x + 1) Factor out 4, the GCF of 4x and 4. 4(x + 1)2 is completely factored.
To factor a polynomial completely, you may need to use more than one factoring method. Use the steps below to factor a polynomial completely.
Factor 10x2 + 48x + 32 completely. 10x2 + 48x + 32 Factor out the GCF. 2(5x2 + 24x + 16) 2(5x + 4)(x + 4) Factor remaining trinomial.
Factor 8x6y2– 18x2y2 completely. 8x6y2– 18x2y2 Factor out the GCF. 4x4 – 9is a perfect-square binomial of the form a2 – b2. 2x2y2(4x4– 9) 2x2y2(2x2– 3)(2x2 + 3)
Factor each polynomial completely. 4x3 + 16x2 + 16x Factor out the GCF. x2 + 4x + 4 is a perfect-square trinomial of the form a2 + 2ab + b2. 4x(x + 2)2
Helpful Hint For a polynomial of the form ax2 + bx + c, if there are no numbers whose sum is b and whose product is ac, then the polynomial is unfactorable. If none of the factoring methods work, the polynomial is said to be unfactorable.
Factor each polynomial completely. 9x2 + 3x– 2 The GCF is 1 and there is no pattern. 9x2 + 3x– 2
Factor each polynomial completely. 12b3 + 48b2 + 48b The GCF is 12b; (b2 + 4b + 4) is a perfect-square trinomial in the form of a2 + 2ab + b2.
Factor each polynomial completely. 4y2 + 12y– 72 Factor out the GCF. 4(y2 + 3y– 18) 4(y –3)(y + 6) (x4–x2) Factor out the GCF. x2(x2– 1) x2 – 1is a difference of two squares. x2(x + 1)(x– 1)
Factor each polynomial completely. Factor out the GCF. There is no pattern. 9q6 + 30q5 + 24q4 3q4(3q2 + 10q + 8) 9q6 + 30q5 + 24q4
