Factor Trinomials 8-4 page 107, example 1 2x2 – 15x+ 18When the last term is positive,what are the signs?Both positive? Both negative? Mixed?(+)(+) (-)(-) (+)(-)
Factor Trinomials 8-4 page 107, example 1 2x2 – 15x+ 18The last term is positive,so the signs are the same.The middle term is negative so:Both signs are negative.(-)(-)
Factor Trinomials 8-4 page 107, example 1 2x2 – 15x+ 18Both signs are same, negative.(-)(-)But the first term has a coefficient of 2. Multiply 2 times 18.
Factor Trinomials 8-4 page 107, example 1 2x2 – 15x+ 18Both signs are negative.2 times 18 is 36What multiplies to 36 and adds to 15?
Factor Trinomials 8-4 page 107, example 1 2x2 – 15x+ 18What multiplies to 36 and adds to 15?36x1 check 36 + 1 18x2 check 18 + 2 12x3 check 12 + 3 found it!Use -12 and -3 because both signs are negative
Factor Trinomials 8-4 page 107, example 1 2x2 – 15x+ 18What multiplies to 36 and adds to 15?12x3=36 12+3=15(x-12)(x-3) Both signs negative Use the 2 from the first term as a denominator.
