Bell Ringer: 10/22/08 • What is the greatest common factor for 64 and 120? • Solve: • Factor: 3) (4x + 11)(4x – 11) 1) 8 2) 4
Identity 3: Cube of a sum
Multiplying Cubes • Using the Rule: (x + 2)3 = (x + 2) (x + 2) (x + 2) Cube the first term Cube the last term Square last term & multiply by 3 Multiply the last term by 3
(x + 2)(x + 2)(x + 2) (x2 + 4x + 4)(x + 2) x2 •x = x3 x2• 2 = 2x2 4x • x = 4x2 4x • 2 = 8x 4 • x = 4x 4 • 2 = 8 Expand the cubic Use Identity 2 to multiply the first two binomials Using the distributive property multiply the rest Using the slightly longer way = 6x2 X3 + 6x2 + 12x + 8 = 12x
Undo Divide by 3 & square root Cube root the first term Cube root the last term Divide by 3 4 (x – 4)(x – 4)(x – 4) = (x – 4)3
Identity 5: Cube of a difference
Multiplying Cubes • Using the Rule: (x - 3)3 = (x - 3) (x - 3) (x - 3) Cube the first term Cube the last term Square last term & multiply by 3 Multiply the last term by 3
(x - 3)(x - 3)(x - 3) (x2 - 6x + 9)(x - 3) x2 •x = x3 x2• -3 = -3x2 -6x • x = -6x2 -6x • -3 = 18x 9 • x = 9x 9 • -3 = -27 Expand the cubic Use Identity 2 to multiply the first two binomials Using the distributive property multiply the rest Using the slightly longer way = -9x2 X3 - 9x2 + 27x - 27 = 27x
Undo Divide by 3 & square root Cube root the first term Cube root the last term Divide by 3 5 (x – 5)(x – 5)(x – 5) = (x – 5)3
Try a few on your own from the practice sheet • (x – 3)3 • (x – 5)3 • (x – 4)3 • (x – 2)3 • (x + 2)3
What identity does it match? • Is there any number or letter in common with all three terms? • Divide all three terms by this greatest common factor 3n Now which identity does the trinomial match?
2a2 • Do these three terms have a GCF? • Now factor the trinomial • 2a2(a – 6)(a – 9)
