24x2y + 6xy – 9y Start every factoring problem by checking for a greatest common monomial factor. 3y(8x2 + 2x – 3) -24 Check your solution! ● 6 -4 + 2 3y(2x - 1)(4x + 3) is the factored form.
10y2 + 31y + 15 150 ● Check your solution! 6 25 + 31 (2y + 5)(5y + 3) is the factored form.
23x - 6 + 4x2 Put the polynomial in standard form before you begin to factor. 4x2 + 23x – 6 -24 ● 24 -1 + 23 (x + 6)(4x - 1) is the factored form.

Find two consecutive positive even integers whose product is 80. Let x = the 1st integer Let x + 2 = the 2nd integer 1st integer 2nd integer = 80 x(x + 2) = 80 x2 + 2x = 80 -80 x2 + 2x – 80 = 0 ● 10 -8 + (x + 10) (x – 8) = 0 2 x + 10 = 0 or x – 8 = 0 x = -10 or 8 Remember the problem asked for positive consecutive even integers. Only one of the roots will fit the context of this problem. The 1st integer is 8 and the 2nd integer is 10.
The width of a rectangular poster is 7 in. less than its length. If the poster’s area is 78 in2, find the dimensions. Let x = length Let x - 7 = width x - 7 length width = area x x(x - 7) = 78 -78 x2 - 7x = 78 ● 6 -13 + x2 - 7x – 78 = 0 -7 (x + 6) (x – 13) = 0 Only the positive root makes sense in this context. Length can’t be negative. Discard the negative root. x = -6 or 13 Length is 13 and width is 6.
The sum of the squares of two negative consecutive integers is 145. Find the integers. Let x = 1st integer Let x + 1 = 2nd integer square of 1st + square of 2nd = 145 x2 + (x + 1)2 = 145 -72 ● x2 + (x + 1)(x + 1) = 145 9 -8 + x2 + x2 + x + x + 1 = 145 1 2x2 + 2x + 1 = 145 x = -9 or 8 2x2 + 2x – 144 = 0 Which answer doesn’t make sense in the context of this problem? 2(x2 + x – 72) = 0 2(x + 9)(x – 8) = 0 x + 9 = 0 or x – 8 = 0 The integers are -9 & -8.
