What You'll LearnWhy It's Important • To solve problems using guess and check and • To factor quadratic trinomials using the box and diamond method • You can use factoring to solve problems involving shipping and geometry
Example 1 • Factor 17x + 10 + 3x2 • Hint: Before factoring a trinomial it must be written in descending order • You must always look for the greatest common factor first • If the coefficient of the squared term is greater than one that is what tells you to use the box and diamond method
Example 1 SolutionBox and Diamond Method • Factor 17x + 10 + 3x2 3x2 + 17x + 10, no greatest common factor • Draw a box put the first and last term diagonal from each other • Then multiply those two terms together this will give you the top number in your diamond
Example 1 SolutionBox and Diamond Method • 3x2 + 17x + 10 • 3x2∙10 = 30x2 • What can you multiply to get 30 that adds up to 17? 30 The middle term is the bottom of the diamond 17
Example 1 SolutionBox and Diamond Method • 3x2 + 17x + 10 • 3x2∙10 = 30x2 • What can you multiply to get 30 that adds up to 17? • Put those same two terms in your box multiplied by a variable 30 2 15 17
Example 1 SolutionBox and Diamond Method • 3x2 + 17x + 10 • Now factor out the greatest common factor from each row and column • The signs from your diamond apply to the box 30 15x 2 15 2x 17
Example 1 SolutionBox and Diamond Method • 3x2 + 17x + 10 • Now factor out the greatest common factor from each row and column • The signs from your diamond apply to the box x +5 30 15x 3x 2 15 +2 2x 17 The answer is (3x + 2)(x + 5)
Example 2 • Factor 12x2 + x - 6
Example 2 • Factor 12x2 + x – 6 • The answer is (4x + 3)(3x – 2) 3x -2 -72 -8x 4x -8 9 9x 1 +3
Example 3 • Factor 30x2 -23x +3 • The answer is
Example 3 • Factor 30x2 -23x +3 • The answer is (6x - 1)(5x – 3) 5x -3 90 -18x 6x -5 -18 -5x -23 -1
