  1. Math I, Sections 2.5 – 2.9Factoring Polynomials Standard: MM1A2eFactor expressions by greatest common factor, grouping, trial and error, and special products . MM1A3a: Solve quadratic equations in the form ax2 +bx + c = 0 where a = 1, by using factorization and finding square roots where applicable. Today’s Question: How do we factor polynomials? Standard: MM1A2e, MM1A3a.

  2. Warm-Up • Plot the following equations: • y = x • y = 2x + 5 • y = -0.5x – 2 • SLOPE Y-INTERCEPT • Hint: y = mx + b • Or make a table of x and y (pick an x, calculate a y). Points plot (x, y), • x is the horizontal direction (think of the horizon) • y is the vertical direction

  3. Warm-Up

  4. Polynomial Equations 1A3e, Section 2.5 • Polynomial equations are really products of linear equations. • Make a table of values and graph: y = (x + 2) • Make a table of values and graph : y = (x – 3) • To distinguish between the two graphs, we can replace the “y”s with function notation, such as: • f(x) = (x + 2) • g(x) = (x – 3)

  5. Your table should look like this:

  6. Your graphs should look like this:

  7. Polynomial Equations • Now, multiply f(x) by g(x) to get h(x) • h(x) = (x + 2)(x – 3) = x2 – x – 6 • Remember the pattern? • (x + a)(x + b) = x2 + (a + b)x + ab • Add h(x) to your earlier table of values and graph h(x) on the same graph

  8. Your table should look like this:

  9. Your graphs should look like this:

  10. Polynomial Equations • What do you notice about the graphs of f(x), g(x), and h(x)? • f(x) and g(x) are linear • h(x) is curvy – the curve is called a parabola • h(x) crosses the x-axis at the same places as f(x) and g(x) • y = 0 at every x intercept

  11. Domain and Range1A1d • The domain of a function are the set of all inputs. It is the “independent” variable, the one you choose. • The range of a function are the set of all outputs. It is the “dependent” variable, the one you calculate. • What is the domain and range of the above functions: • f(x) = (x + 2) • g(x) = (x - 3) • h(x) = (x + 2)(x – 3) = x2 – x – 6

  12. Polynomial Equations • When we study Linear Equations we emphasize slope and y-intercept • When we study Polynomials we emphasize zeros, x-intercepts, solutions, roots – which are all different words for the basically the same thing. • We start by moving all terms to one side of the equation, making them equal zero. • WE ARE THEN LOOKING FOR THE VALUES OF X THAT MAKE THE EQUATION EQUAL ZERO!

  13. Polynomial Equations • Understand value of y is zero at every x intercept • Understand these factors are equations and the zeros of these equations are the zeros of the polynomial. • Understand that if products equal zero, that at least one of the terms must equal zero (the zero product rule) • School work talks about factoring by itself, but in real life you factor to find solutions. For this reason, we will be emphasizing factoring to find solutions to problems.

  14. Solving Polynomial Equations 1A3a, Section 2.5 The process of finding the zeros varies based on the form of the problem. If the problem is already factored and equals zero, simply use the zero product rule to find the zeros. Example: Solve (x + 3)(x – 4) = 0 Either x + 3 = 0 or x – 4 = 0, so x = -3 or x = 4 NOTE: The context of the problem may exclude one of the answers.

  16. Solving Polynomial Equations Factoring out GCF 1A2e, (2.5) • Always start by factoring out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), and use the zero product rule to find the zeros. Example: Solve: 5x2 + 15x = 0 5 * x * x + 3 * 5 * x = 0 5x(5 * x * x + 3 * 5 * x) = 0 5x(x + 3) = 0 Therefore, either 5x = 0 or x + 3 = 0 5x = 0 or x + 3 = 0 5 5 -3 -3 So x = 0 or x = -3

  17. GCF Problems • Pg 79, # 5 – 30 by 5’s & 36 and page 80, # 33 (8)

  18. Solving Polynomial Equations 1A2e, 1A3a, Section 2.6 • If the problem is a trinomial of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0, we must factor the trinomial by finding the factors of a * c that add to b. • If a = 1, then we are looking for the factors of c that add to b.

  21. Solving Polynomial Equations 1A2e, 1A3a, Section 2.6 -11 -10 1 -11 -10 -1 11 10 Your Turn Solve: x2 - 10x - 11= 0 Make a factor tree to find The factors of c that add to b: “c” = -11 -11 + 1 = - 10 so the factors are (x + 1)(x - 11) = 0 x = -1 or x = 11

  23. Factor Completely 1A2e (2.9) • Factoring a common monomial from pairs of terms, then looking for a common binomial factor is called factor by grouping. • A polynomial that cannot be written as a product of polynomials with integer coefficients is called unfactorable. • A factorable polynomial with integer coefficients is factored completely if it is written as a product of unfactorable polynomials with integer coefficients.

  25. Factor Completely 1A2e (2.9) • Factor completely the following expressions: • Example 1: 6x2 -10x -12x +20 2x(3x-5) – 4(3x – 5) (3x – 5)(2x – 4) • Your turn: 6x2 + 27x + 4x2 + 18x 3x(2x + 9) + 2x(2x + 9) (2x + 9)(3x + 2x) (2x + 9)(5x)

  26. Factor Completely 1A2e (2.9) • Your turn: Factor completely the following expression: 2x3 + 14x2 + 3x + 21 2x2(x + 7) + 3(x + 7) (x + 7)(2x2 + 3)

  27. Factor Completely 1A3a (2.9) • If the equation has a common factor in each term, factor out the largest common factor and use the zero product rule to find the zeros. (2.9) Your turn: Solve 16x2 – 4 + 4x3 – x = 0 Factor by grouping: 4(4x2 – 1) + x(4x2 – 1) = 0 The Greatest Common Factor is (4x2 – 1), so (4x2 – 1)(4 + x) = 0 x = ±0.5 or x = -4

  36. Solving f(x) = g(x) 1A1i • We can find the points of intersection between two curves by setting them equal to each other and solving the equation. • Popular examples are profit/loss curves and supply/demand curves

  37. Solving f(x) = g(x) 1A1i • Steps to solve for the intersections: • Set the equations equal to each other • Move everything to one side of the equation, making that side equal zero. (HINT: Keep x2 positive) • Factor • Use Zero Product Rule to find the roots. • Substitute the roots into the original equations to find the corresponding values of y

  38. Solving f(x) = g(x) 1A1i • Example: find where the parabola f(x) = x2 + 2x -6 intersects with the line g(x) = 2x + 3 • Set them equal to each other gives: x2 + 2x - 6 = 2x + 3 Move everything to one side: x2 - 9 = 0 Can be solved as special function or by square root – show both (x + 3)(x – 3) = 0 x = -3 or x = 3 Substitute to find the values of y: y = 9 or -3 Intersections: (-3, -3) and (3, 9)

  39. Solving f(x) = g(x) 1A1i • Example: find where the parabola f(x) = x2 + 5x - 5 intersects with the line g(x) = -2x - 5 • Set them equal to each other gives: x2 + 5x - 5 = -2x -5 x2 + 7x = 0 Solve be GCF: x(x + 7) = 0 x = 0 or x = -7 y = -5 or 9 Points of Intersection: (0, -5) and (-7, 9)

  40. Solving f(x) = g(x) 1A1i • Your Turn: find where the parabola f(x) = x2 - 4 intersects with the parabola g(x) = 2x2 – 2x - 12 • Setting them equal to each other gives: 2x2 – 2x - 12 = x2 - 4 x2 – 2x – 8 = 0 Solve be finding factors of -8 that add to -2 (x + 2)(x - 4) = 0 x = -2 or x = 4 y = 0 or 12 Points of intersection are: (-2, 0) and (4, 12)

  41. Solving f(x) = g(x) 1A1i • Example: find the length of the side of a square such that the area equals the perimeter. • f(x) = A = s2 • g(x) = P = 4s • Set them equal to each other gives: s2 = 4s s2 - 4s = 0 s(s – 4) = 0 s = 0 or s - 4 = 0 s = 0 or s = 4

  42. Solving f(x) = g(x) 1A1i • Your turn: find the radius of a circle such that the area equals the perimeter. • f(x) = A = r2 • g(x) = P = 2r • Set them equal to each other gives: r2 = 2r r2 - 2r = 0 r(r – 2) = 0 r = 0 or r = 2

  45. Quick Review of QuadraticFunction

  46. Cubics (3.1) • A cubic function is a nonlinear function that can be written in the standard form: y = ax3 + bx2 + cx + d

  47. Cubics (3.1) • Cubic polynomials are simply three linear equations multiplied together, just like quadratics are the products of two linear equations. • Assume we have the following equations: • f(x) = x+ 1 • g(x) = 0.5x + 2 • h(x) = 0.5x – 1 • The cubic is simply the product of these three: i(x) = f(x) * g(x) * h(x) i(x) = (-0.2x + 2)(x + 5)(0.3x -1) i(x) = 0.25x3 + 0.75x2 – 1.5x -2

  48. Cubics We would get graphs that looked like: Describe the graph f(x) = x + 1 h(x) = 0.5x -1

  49. Graph of Cubic Function Talk about the x intercept of the linear functions and the cubic Talk about values of x where the cubic is increasing. Talk about values of x where the cubic is decreasing Talk about local minimum and maximum Talk about end conditions when a > 0 and a < 0 What is the domain and range of the cubic?

  50. Factoring Cubics 1A2e (3.2) • They are not easy to factor. We have two patterns we can use: • y = x3 + 3x2y + 3xy2 + y3 factors into y = (x + y)3 • y = x3 - 3x2y + 3xy2 - y3 factors into y = (x – y)3
