Section 5.1 Quadratic Equations
Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of numbers. Find the GCF of terms. A B OBJECTIVES
Factor out the GCF. Factor a four-term expression by grouping. C D OBJECTIVES
DEFINITION Greatest Common Factor (GCF) The largest common factor of the integers in a list.
PROCEDURE Finding the Product 4(x + y) = 4x + 4y 5(a – 2b) = 5a – 10b 2x(x + 3) = 2x2 + 6x
PROCEDURE Finding the Factors 4x + 4y = 4(x + y) 5a – 10b = 5(a – 2b) 2x2 + 6x = 2x(x + 3)
DEFINITION GCF of a Polynomial a is the greatest integer that divides each coefficient.
DEFINITION GCF of a Polynomial n is the smallest exponent of x in all the terms.

Factor trinomials of the form A OBJECTIVES
RULE Factoring Rule 1
PROCEDURE Factoring x2 + bx + c Find two integers whose product is c and whose sum is b. If b and c are positive, both integers must be positive.
PROCEDURE Factoring x2 + bx + c Find two integers whose product is c and whose sum is b. If c is positive and b is negative, both integers must be negative.
PROCEDURE Factoring x2 + bx + c Find two integers whose product is c and whose sum is b. If c is negative, one integer must be negative and one positive.

B OBJECTIVES
C OBJECTIVES
TEST ac test for ax2 + bx + c A trinomial of the form ax2 + bx + c is factorable if there are two integers with product ac and sum b.
TEST ac test We need two numbers whose product is ac. The sum of the numbers must be b.
PROCEDURE Factoring by FOIL Product must be c. Product must be a.
PROCEDURE Factoring by FOIL The product of the numbers in the first (F) blanks must be a.
PROCEDURE Factoring by FOIL The coefficients of the outside (O) products and the inside (I) products must add up to b.
PROCEDURE Factoring by FOIL The product of numbers in the last (L) blanks must be c.
