Warm-Up Factor the following expressions by pulling out things that each term has in common: • 4x3 + 8x2 + 12xz • 9x2y3 + 3xy2 + 27xy4
Standard Students apply basic factoring techniques to second- and simple third-degree polynomials. These techniques include finding a common factor for all terms in a polynomial, recognizing the difference of two squares, and recognizing perfect squares of binomials. Objective: We will use the x-box method to factor trinomials.
Factor the x-box way We are going to factor trinomials like 3x2 + 27x + 60 using the X-Box method. Step 1: Write the polynomial in standard form. Step 2: Factor all common factors in the trinomial. Step 3: Use the X method. Step 4: Write your answer. Step 5: Check your answer by distributing
Factor the x-box way y = ax2 + bx + c Product ac=mn First and Last Coefficients n m Middle b=m+n Sum
-12 4 Examples Factor using the x-box method. 1. x2 + 4x – 12 6 -2 Solution: x2 + 4x – 12 = (x + 6)(x - 2)
Examples continued 2. x2 - 9x + 20 -4-5 20 -9 Solution: x2 - 9x + 20 =(x - 4)(x - 5)
You try… Factor: x2 – 6x + 5 Answer: (x – 1)(x – 5)
Extra Practice Factor 1. x2 + 6x + 5 (x + 5)(x + 1) 2. r2 – 12r + 35 (r – 5)(r – 7)
